Three registered voters in North Carolina are suing the State Board of Elections, alleging that it violated their constitutional rights. At issue is the board's rejection last week of a petition seeking recognition for a political party that would put Cornel West on the presidential ballot.
FILE - Harvard Professor Cornel West speaks, Oct. 22, 2019, in Cambridge, Mass. With early voting set to begin in late September in some states, there are signs that groups are trying to affect the outcome by using deceptive means. In most cases, in ways that would benefit Donald Trump by whittling away President Joe Biden ’s already tepid standing with the Democratic Party’s base by offering left-leaning, third-party alternatives.
Hirsch said he had concerns in part about how a group called People Over Party collected many of the signatures. An attorney for People Over Party has said the group didn’t coordinate with Justice for All. Hirsch noted that election board staff said last week that many of the nearly 50 people they contacted at random from the petition list said they didn’t sign the petition or didn’t know what it was for.
The Associated Press is the most trusted source of information on election night, with a history of accuracy dating to 1848. Although litigation challenging the board’s 3-2 vote on July 16 was expected, Justice for All Party of North Carolina Chair Italo Medelius said his group had nothing to do with the lawsuit that was filed Monday. He said the group would file its own suit.
