North Carolina Supreme Court Race Centers on Abortion Rights

News summary

Abortion rights have become a pivotal issue in various state elections, particularly in North Carolina, where canvassers are mobilizing voters despite no direct ballot measure on the topic. Reflecting a broader trend, abortion will be on the ballot in ten states, influencing races for state supreme courts that can determine access to reproductive rights. In North Carolina, Justice Allison Riggs is campaigning heavily on this issue against Republican opponent Jefferson Griffin, who argues her focus is inappropriate for a judicial race. Activists and organizations on both sides are investing significantly in these judicial elections, recognizing their potential impact on abortion laws following the Supreme Court's 2022 decision overturning Roe v. Wade. As voters consider candidates, the ideological balance of state supreme courts could shift, affecting future legal battles over abortion and other contentious issues. This surge in engagement highlights a critical moment in U.S. politics as reproductive rights continue to mobilize voters across the country.
