Prof. Gunther Peck of Duke University on the ongoing challenge to last fall’s Supreme Court election
Manage episode 467222550 series 16410
The biggest story in North Carolina politics right now remains the unsettled race for a seat on the state Supreme Court. Although multiple recounts show incumbent Democratic Justice Allision Riggs as the winner, Republican challenger Jefferson Griffin is seeking to have more than 60,000 ballots cast by registered voters thrown out based on technicalities — most notably that many voters’ records lack a Social Security or driver’s license number.
While the case remains tied up in litigation, that hasn’t stopped a lot of groups and individuals from examining and challenging Griffin’s action. One such group is the Student Voting Rights Lab at Duke and North Carolina Central Universities and recently Newsline’s Rob Schofield caught up with the group’s founder and co-director, Duke University History Professor Gunther Peck, to find out what they’ve uncovered.
