The spouses of two state Republican Supreme Court justices were top donors to GOP Judge Jefferson Griffin in his race to join the court. Griffin, a judge on the state Court of Appeals, is trying to unseat incumbent Democratic Justice Allison Riggs.

Allison Riggs appears to have narrowly won her reelection race. But two of the justices who may decide the case have spouses who donated to her challenger.

The House and Senate also confirmed Associate Justice Gregory T. D’Auria for a second eight-year term by lopsided margins.
