The Tiny Margin Defining North Carolina’s Future
North Carolina voters will soon have the crucial task of selecting judges for the state courts. These courts wield significant influence, making decisions that shape the lives of North Carolinians in profound ways. Despite their importance, these elections often see low voter turnout. Every vote counts. The 2020 statewide election for N.C. Chief Justice was decided by 401 votes. Judges decide cases that change lives and uphold and overrule laws that affect every aspect of your life. To highlight the real-world impact of these courts, we’ve compiled notable cases that underscore their role in shaping policies affecting everything from healthcare to education.
