A coalition of civic engagement groups and voters filed an amicus brief against Jefferson Griffin's efforts to invalidate over 60,000 votes in a Supreme Court race. These groups argue such actions threaten the fundamental right to vote and lack evidence of ineligibility among the voters. Griffin's challenges rely on rejected legal theories and do not provide proof of voter ineligibility. The brief emphasizes the importance of safeguarding the rights of voters in North Carolina against unprecedented disenfranchisement efforts.
"Judge Griffin's Protests seek retroactive disenfranchisement of these voters, and more than 60,000 like them, based on legal theories that have been rejected by both federal and state courts."
"Stunningly, Judge Griffin fails to allege any evidence that even a single one of these voters is actually ineligible to vote in North Carolina—only that they should have anticipated his challenges and followed an alternative, hypothetical set of rules when casting their ballot."
