RALEIGH, N.C. – The Associated Press projected that Anita Earls has been reelected to serve as an associate justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court. The AP also made projections in key races in the North Carolina House of Representatives and North Carolina Senate.
Liz Barber, ACLU of North Carolina director of policy and advocacy, had the following reaction to the election results so far:
“North Carolinians went to the polls and delivered key victories for bodily autonomy and the right to fair representation.
“The ACLU of North Carolina, alongside the national ACLU, reached 2.3 million voters in the state in the final weeks of the campaign, as part of the largest electoral spend in the state for the two organizations. Through digital ads and direct mail to voters, we worked to ensure that voters understood candidates’ records on key issues facing North Carolina and what’s at stake in the elections this year.
“The North Carolina Supreme Court is poised to hear cases of grave importance to our civil rights and civil liberties, and the state legislature will decide on many critical issues come January. These results provide a mandate for our elected leaders to protect our rights and freedoms.”
