Background: Why is a candidate challenging our votes?

“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 election audits confirmed that Justice Allison Riggs won the most votes to keep her seat on our state’s highest court. But rather than concede, her opponent is asking the courts to undermine the will of 60,000 voters, with young people and Black voters challenged at higher rates.

“That’s ridiculous,” says Terri B. of Granville County, who is among the voters being challenged without any evidence. “Throwing out my ballot would mean what I say doesn’t matter.” Terri registered to vote in 2004 at 21 and has voted in numerous elections over the past decade without incident.

Join voters like Terri. Add your name to the growing list of North Carolinians sending this message to Jefferson Griffin & the courts: respect the will of North Carolina voters and reject this baseless attempt to challenge 60,000 voters.

Why is this race so important?
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.
