Was your vote challenged by Judge Jefferson Griffin? Want to tell your story? Email us at gino@commoncause.org.

“Crazy,” “terrible,” “disgusting” — that’s what voters like you are saying when they hear a losing candidate wants to throw out their ballots using desperate and outlandish legal theories, all in order to steal a seat on the N.C. Supreme Court.

Multiple recounts and careful audits have confirmed North Carolina's 2024 election results: voters chose Justice Allison Riggs to return to the state Supreme Court.

In desperation, her opponent Judge Jefferson Griffin is asking state courts to disqualify 60,000 lawful voters, disproportionately young people and Black voters, to flip the 2024 Election. It's shameful. It’s baseless. It's disrespectful. And someone who abuses our trust shouldn’t represent us on the state's highest court.

Griffin should honor the will of the voters and gracefully concede. Instead, he’s choosing to rig his way into power by tossing tens of thousands of votes from every corner of the state.

Add your name and share in your networks: join the growing list of North Carolinians demanding the courts respect North Carolina voters and reject Griffin's challenges. By signing up, we'll keep you updated on the latest news and next steps.

Our state Supreme Court makes crucial decisions about our lives. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Chief Justice Cheri Beasley used the court's power to stop evictions statewide. In 2023, a different court, led by Chief Justice Paul Newby, used their power to legalize partisan gerrymandering and take away the right to vote from formerly incarcerated North Carolinians.
