(The Center Square) – Litigation was filed Monday by the Justice for All Party, supporter of Cornel West for president, against the North Carolina State Board of Elections by three Fayetteville residents.

The lawsuit of plaintiffs Johnny Thomas Ortiz II, Jimmie Gregory Rogers Jr. and Weldon Murphy says the state board had “no legal authority” for its action, and that the party met the 13,865-signature requirement of state law. Defendants are the state board as an entity, and each of its members and Executive Director Karen Brinson Bell in their respective official capacity.
