The end game is finally coming in this case in North Carolina, John, and we're heading for election theft in plain sight.

The backstory: The North Carolina state supreme court stepped in to stop the certification of the election for a justice on their court, which is a huge breach of power and a clearly partisan action in a state where judges are affiliated with political parties.

Back on Election Day 2024, incumbent Justice Allison Riggs (D) was reelected by a slim margin of a few hundred votes. Her disgruntled opponent, GOP Judge Jefferson Griffin, sued for and received two separate recounts -- both of which increased Riggs' lead.

Now, a panel of the North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in Griffin’s favor, deciding that 60,000 ballots must be recounted and verified. The ruling states that all 60,000 people must be notified and given 15 business days to provide proof of identity, or their vote will be thrown out. This ruling will disenfranchise tens of thousands of people without showing any proof that any of these voters are actually ineligible.

“The Court of Appeals’ ruling is destined to disenfranchise thousands of North Carolinians, denying them due process and equal protection under North Carolina law” Justice Riggs’ lawyers wrote in their appeal to the state supreme court -- the same body she should already be back serving on.

Now listen, Justice Riggs could still win on appeal. However, without her on the court, who will recuse herself, Griffin's fellow Republicans hold a 5-1 majority on the court in a case that is clearly about partisan election interference.

What's really at stake here? If Judge Griffin's campaign thought the registration process was legally flawed, he should have challenged it *before* the election. This is a blatant attempt to change the rules just because he lost. And his partisan cronies are going along with it to protect their power and their majority on the court.

Opponents of voting rights are blatantly trying to steal this election in plain sight. And you can bet they're going to try to do it in the 49 other states once they get away with it here.

We've got to make sure everyone knows about this egregious intervention before these votes are stolen and the voices of the people are silenced. Will you chip in $25 or whatever you can right now to help us spread the word? >>

Integrity First Voter Action Project is dedicated to expanding ballot access and increasing voter participation across the country.

Since the Supreme Court gutted key provisions in the Voting Rights Act, extreme politicians have taken advantage to pass harsh laws that restrict access to the ballot box. These restrictions particularly affect disadvantaged communities and people of color. It’s our goal to bring awareness to these laws wherever they may crop up and organize voters to take action to ensure the right to vote is available to everyone in their states and communities.

Your support is crucial to our efforts. Will you donate today to help us protect voting rights?
