The League of Women Voters of North Carolina and several individual voters filed suit in federal court to ensure that every vote from the 2024 general election was counted in the North Carolina Supreme Court race. The state supreme court in Griffin v. NCSBE had ruled that, of the roughly 65,000 votes challenged by Judge Jefferson Griffin, approximately 60,000 votes would be counted. However, over 5,000 legally cast ballots could still be thrown out under its order. LWVNC's suit aimed to protect individuals, including LWVNC members, who voted from overseas through the approved method, and asserted that failing to count these ballots would violate the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses, and the fundamental right to vote.
