North Carolina state appeals court judge and Republican state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin filed a legal brief on Tuesday with the state Supreme Court, laying out his latest argument for why the court should toss out November ballots and overturn the results of the state Supreme Court Race in his favor.

Tuesday’s filing is the latest development in a larger legal saga over Jefferson’s attempt to overturn the results of a fair election that saw Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs win reelection in November.

In this most recent filing before the very court he seeks to sit on, Griffin shifted his strategy in trying to invalidate tens of thousands of votes in order to steal the election from Riggs.

... billboards, inspired by growing public backlash against Griffin’s efforts to reverse his election results by tossing the votes of 60,000 North Carolinians, pointed to an online hub (ccnc.me/wematter) hosted by Common Cause North Carolina where concerned voters could check if they’re on Griffin’s “discounted vote” list.

“I thought I would look at the list and find friends and family to contact…and there I was,” Baldwin Gibson told me by phone.

Dr. Baldwin Gibson is just one of many surprised (and surprising) citizens ensnared in Griffin’s gambit to target tens of thousands of eligible voters, including fellow Republican politicians and even Griffin’s own donors. A pastor and long-time unaffiliated voter, who has supported both Republican and Democratic causes, Baldwin Gibson is a member of the North Carolina Judicial Branch’s Faith and Justice Alliance Steering Committee, a coalition of “legal practitioners and faith-based leaders” helping state courts better serve our needs.

Now, it’s Dr. Baldwin Gibson who finds herself in need of help.
