North Carolina: Court rejects Democrat appeal to keep Green Party off ballot

[TigressDem]

2. This kinda reads like a RW talking point. "Democrat appeal" is not the proper way to describe it...

AND the REASON DEMs wanted to challenge the Green Party Candidate is that MANY of the signatures looked to be the same handwriting.

"There are numerous pages that have obvious signs of fraud or irregularities," she said. "These include the same handwriting throughout and similar signatures."

In the 2020 presidential and gubernatorial elections in North Carolina, the Green Party received less than 2% of the vote. That meant that the party needed a petition to be recognized in 2022.

For the petition, the Green Party needed the signatures of 13,865 voters. The party collected more than 22,000, and county elections boards certified nearly 16,000.

But those boards also told the state there were "irregularities" on the signature sheets.

Brinson Bell said she needed more time to investigate — even though a longer investigation means the Green Party could miss an August deadline for the state to prepare the ballot.
