The North Carolina State Board of Elections has officially recognized the Constitution Party as an official political party, allowing it to nominate candidates for the 2024 elections. However, the 'We the People' and 'Justice for All' parties, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West respectively, have not yet been approved due to ongoing legal investigations. This delay has sparked criticism from Republicans, who accuse the Democratic-majority board of partisanship aimed at protecting President Joe Biden's electoral prospects. The Constitution Party, associated with the Christian right, will have candidates like Walter Vinny Smith for governor and Wayne Jones for lieutenant governor. The board set a July 23 deadline for the Constitution Party to submit additional candidate names. The board plans to revisit the certification of the other two parties in an upcoming meeting.
