Celebrate Justice Riggs’ Victory and Fair Elections

We celebrate the long-overdue swearing-in of Justice Allison Riggs to the North Carolina Supreme Court — a powerful win for democracy, the rule of law, and every voter whose voice was nearly silenced.

After a six-month legal battle to overturn her rightful election, Republican Judge Jefferson Griffin finally conceded, and a federal court ordered the state to certify her victory. It shouldn’t have taken this long — but thanks to unwavering determination and the support of thousands, Justice Riggs now takes her seat on the bench.

This win belongs to all of us who believe in free and fair elections. It’s a reminder that voters, not politicians, decide our leaders — and that democracy is worth defending every step of the way.

Add your name to celebrate Justice Riggs’ hard-fought victory and stand up for the right of every voter to have their ballot counted. Let this moment be a reminder: when we fight for democracy, we can win.
