The Democratic National Committee on Friday attempted to stop North Carolina Republicans’ effort to invalidate tens of thousands of ballots from the November election and upend a state supreme court race that Democrats won. The DNC filed a legal action on Friday to intervene in a lawsuit filed by the Republican National Committee in Wake county, North Carolina, in late December, seeking to throw out votes because of alleged missing information on registration forms.

This week, the North Carolina supreme court stalled the state elections board from confirming the results of a November supreme court race that their Democratic colleague, Allison Riggs, won by a margin of just more than 700 votes. The Republican candidate, Jefferson Griffin, has made claims of missing voter registration information in multiple legal filings before and after the election.

The actions in North Carolina have Democrats and democracy advocates concerned and fighting back over fears voters could be disenfranchised and elections overturned.

“For months, North Carolina Republicans have attempted to steal an election in plain sight at taxpayers’ expense, seeking to throw away some 60,000 lawful votes cast in the race for North Carolina supreme court justice,” the DNC chair, Jaime Harrison, said in a statement. “On November 5, North Carolina voters elected Justice Allison Riggs. Their voices will be heard.”

Their hypocrisy is boundless in comparison to the national Reichwingers. And the national GOPQ-balls are bad enough.

Taking to the streets, sort of, was tried for years after the GOPigs took over the legislature back in ‘10 and began to impose their will on the state, especially so on minorities. Reverend William Barber led protests on a weekly basis; Moral Mondays. The reason behind the name are self explanatory.
