Jan. 13, 2025 – 

LWVNC Members and Supporters,

As you may know, the N.C. Supreme Court race is currently being challenged by candidate Jefferson Griffin. He is claiming that roughly 60,000 votes cast in the November Supreme Court are invalid because the voter's eligibility to cast a ballot cannot be verified. Therefore, the votes should not be counted, asserts Griffin. The Republican Party is also claiming that these votes should be challenged and not counted in already completed (and certified) statewide races. 
 
On January 1, 2025, Protect Democracy filed an amicus brief on behalf of the League of Women Voters of North Carolina and six registered North Carolina voters. These six voters – and a number of the League’s members – are among more than 60,000 registered North Carolina voters whom Griffin, who narrowly lost a hard-fought election, is attempting to disenfranchise, asserting that the voters “never provided the statutorily required information to become lawful voter registrants.” 
 
We want to identify as many voters as possible who are on this list to make sure they have an opportunity to contact their county board of elections to verify their voting status, and so that we can advocate on their behalf in this egregious attempt to manipulate the will of N.C. voters. 
 
Please review the list of 60,000 voters, sorted by county, and fill out this form if you or someone you know is on the list. The League of Women Voters of North Carolina is committed to standing up for voters' rights, and we are fighting in the courts to ensure that legitimately cast votes are counted. 
 
Thank you for reviewing the list and helping us defend voters' rights and continue to ensure the public's confidence in our state’s elections.
