Court upholds Dixiecrat ballot access in North Carolina
The North Carolina Supreme Court, in a six to one ruling with Justice Stacy dissenting, affirmed a Superior Court decision allowing States Rights Democratic presidential and vice presidential candidates to appear on the state ballot. The decision critiques the elections board rules that tied signature eligibility to prior voting, suggesting certification after petition filing sufficed under the law. The ruling highlights the need to rewrite election law to prevent future partisan complications.
