Hello John,

I am proud, grateful, and deeply relieved that North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs has prevailed in defending her November 2024 election victory from a far-right attempt to undermine it.

I appointed Justice Riggs to the Court in 2023 because I knew her to be a jurist whose commitment to defending the rights of North Carolinians was ironclad.

She has proven that commitment again and again over the last six months.

Justice Riggs fought for every last legal NC voter’s ballot to count. This week, the federal court agreed that her opponent’s attempt to change the election rules after the fact, and potentially throw out tens of thousands of ballots, would violate those voters’ right to constitutional due process.

Finally, her opponent has conceded and Justice Riggs’ victory is set to be certified.

This is a win for democracy itself.

Will you join me and congratulate Justice Riggs on this hard-won — and fair, legal, and democratic — victory? Click here to sign our note of congratulations >>>

Thank you,

Roy Cooper
