May 6, 2025 – The League of Women Voters of North Carolina secured a victory last night in our lawsuit regarding the contested 2024 N.C. Supreme Court race! The U.S. District Court ruled in our favor that it is a violation of citizens' constitutional rights to retroactively change the results of an election and throw out legally cast ballots. This is what it means to defend democracy and protect the sacred pact between citizens and the government, ensuring that legally cast ballots will count!
“Yesterday’s ruling is a victory for every North Carolina voter who followed the rules and simply wanted their vote to be counted,” said Jennifer Rubin, president of the League of Women Voters of North Carolina. “The League brought this case to stand up for voters who were unfairly targeted after they followed the rules when they cast their ballots. The court recognized the basic unfairness of throwing out ballots that were cast legally after an election and sent a clear message that these tactics have no place in our democracy.”
