[ [link removed] ]NBC: GOP-controlled N.C. Supreme Court blocks certification of Democrat
as winner of close high court race

Republicans are trying to use the courts to steal a critical state Supreme
Court victory in North Carolina – with far-reaching impacts that could
affect control of Congress for years to come.

Justice Allison Riggs won her State Supreme Court race by just 734 votes
after every single ballot was counted, recounted, and recounted again. But
now, the Republican-controlled North Carolina Supreme Court has taken the
unprecedented step of blocking the election results from being certified.

This Republican-controlled court, with a partisan 5-2 majority, has
already demonstrated its willingness to make decisions driven by partisan
gain rather than legal merit. Last year, they rubber-stamped extreme
gerrymandered maps that diluted the power of voters and extended unfair
Republican advantages in congressional and legislative races.

they fight to protect voters, Justice Riggs' election, and democracy
itself?

ProPublica reports that the Republicans' argument relies on "debunked
legal theories...that originated and have been championed by far-right
activists working with a conservative organization that was secretly
preparing to contest election results if Trump had lost the 2024
election." Their goal? To throw out valid ballots and overturn the will of
the voters.

This is part of a larger Republican strategy to weaponize the courts to
cling to power no matter what voters want. If they succeed, they will
cement Republicans' ability to gerrymander districts, suppress votes, and
rubber-stamp extreme legislation for years to come.

[ [link removed] ]We cannot let them get away with this. Can you chip in now to the North
Carolina Democratic Party as they fight back and protect this critical
election victory and democracy in North Carolina?

Your contribution will help fund the legal teams fighting this
disingenuous challenges and protect democracy in North Carolina.
