Voting, Civil Rights Groups Urge Court to Protect NC Voters
Briefly

A coalition of nonpartisan civic engagement organizations and North Carolina voters has filed an amicus brief challenging N.C. Supreme Court candidate Judge Jefferson Griffin's request to invalidate over 60,000 votes. The groups assert that those voters followed all election rules, emphasizing that Griffin lacks evidence of any voter's ineligibility. The brief documents the experiences of voters who cast ballots early, by mail, or from abroad, and includes a list of registered voters speaking against Griffin's baseless challenges. The hearing is scheduled in Wake County Superior Court for a significant legal discussion on voter rights.
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 unprecedented challenges.
The groups and voters are urging the court to uphold the fundamental rights of North Carolina's voters and reject Griffin's extraordinary request to disenfranchise more than 60,000 voters.
