Reproductive Freedom for All Condemns GOP’s Push for a Second North Carolina Supreme Court Race Recount
Raleigh, NC — North Carolina Republicans are attempting to skirt the state’s democratic legal system to demand a second recount of the state supreme court election results—a desperate attempt to ignore the will of the voters. The legal arguments put forth by Judge Griffin and the North Carolina GOP have already been struck down by the state Board of Elections, state courts, and federal courts. Regardless, Justice Griffin is seeking to have the ballots of over 60,000 North Carolinians thrown out, many of whom are members of the military, including veterans and active duty service members.
Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju released the following statement:
“This is about accepting the results of free and fair elections. Trying to engineer an electoral outcome by disenfranchising more than 60,000 voters, including active duty and retired service members, is anti-democratic. Republicans must accept the will of voters—even if they don’t like the results.”
