Raleigh, N.C. — A broad coalition of nonpartisan civic engagement groups and more than two dozen North Carolina voters filed an amicus brief Monday in a legal case where a trailing N.C. Supreme Court candidate wants to invalidate tens of thousands of votes.

Represented by attorneys at Southern Coalition for Social Justice and Forward Justice, the voter and civil rights groups filed the amicus brief in advance of a hearing Friday in Wake County Superior Court in Raleigh. The groups and voters are urging the court to uphold the fundamental rights of North Carolina’s voters and reject N.C. Supreme Court candidate Judge Jefferson Griffin’s extraordinary request to disenfranchise more than 60,000 voters.
