Eastern District of North Carolina Opinion

The Eastern District of North Carolina permanently enjoined the North Carolina State Board of Elections from implementing a cure process or removing any votes from the count and ordered the State Board to certify the election for Justice Riggs based on the tally at the end of the canvassing period. The Court considered an amicus brief filed by CLC and Milberg on behalf of Secure Families Initiative in support of injunctive relief for eligible North Carolinians serving in the armed forces and their families posted overseas to ensure their ballots cast for the 2024 general election will be counted.
