Fight Voter Suppression: Help Fund Allison Riggs' Legal Battle

Dem. Justice Allison Riggs defeated her opponent, Jefferson Griffin, by 734 votes. But Griffin refuses to concede. He’s launched an epic and epically expensive court battle to change voting rules RETROACTIVELY, and then disqualify enough votes - that were cast according to the laws on the book at the time. Nationally, this is a test-run of yet another voter suppression tactic. If we let them get away with it in NC, we’ll be seeing it everywhere.


Below is a statement from Justice Allison Riggs.

I’ve spent my entire career fighting to protect the rights of every North Carolinian, and I won’t back down now.

​

North Carolinians elected me to keep my seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court in November 2024, a win that was affirmed by two independent recounts. After winning election to a full term on the North Carolina Supreme Court, my victory is being challenged in court. My opponent has filed a lawsuit seeking to throw out more than 65,000 lawfully cast ballots, including the votes of both of my parents as well as deployed military serving our country. As a proud daughter of a 30-year military veteran, I won’t stop fighting to ensure that every eligible voter - including active duty military and veterans - can make their voices heard. 

​

I was honored to be appointed to the North Carolina Supreme Court by Governor Cooper in 2023, after previously serving on the Court of Appeals. Before serving as a judge, I worked for 14 years as a civil rights attorney, fighting to protect North Carolinians’ freedoms, including the right to vote. I argued twice before the U.S. Supreme Court in benchmark redistricting cases. 

​

While this case moves through the legal system, I remain focused on serving with integrity, independence, and a deep commitment to the rule of law. And as the youngest woman ever to serve on our state Supreme Court, I bring a needed perspective to the bench. I’ll continue to work every day to deliver justice for all North Carolinians without fear or favor.
