Eleven North Carolina voters filed a challenge to block GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn from running for reelection in 2024, saying his actions on January 6, 2021, disqualified him from occupying the role. Cawthorn, who represents North Carolina's 11th congressional district, made baseless claims about the 2020 election at the "Save America Rally," which preceded the Capitol riot. In a challenge submitted to the North Carolina State Board of Elections on Monday, lawyers representing the 11 voters argued that Cawthorn's actions before and on January 6, 2021, violated the 14th Amendment. The amendment, which was adopted in 1869, says that no

If they want to oust Cawthorn, they can try it in a primary, or in the general election. Anything else is illegal, unless he's convicted of illegal activity, and even then, it seems to me some Democrats have served from inside jail cells.

If there had been a REAL insurrection, that day, about half of Congress would be taking dirt naps.

How do you submit evidence into court? Discovery will ask for ALL the video footage from that day. Constitutional peaceful protest will be proven.

Has Cawthorn been charged with insurrection or rebellion?
No, he hasn't.
As a matter of fact not one single person has.

The NC Board of Elections does not have the authority to decide if Cawthorn violated the 14th Amendment.
The Board is not empowered as a legal judicial body and where is Cawthorn's Due Process?

Are these 11 funding this out of their own pockets? How many lawyers and where is the funding coming from? Soros 4 times removed from various tax advantaged cutouts?

If the leadership (so-called) of the GOP doesn't recognize by now the necessity of engaging in fierce battle with the leftists, they are terminally stupid, and should be shown the door.
Gear up & fight, you losers! Leftists have decided that you/we will do battle; you/we have no choice. The only decision is whether or not we intend to win, and win decisively.

The lawsuit should be tossed out on standing, lack of merit and zero evidence.

Hillary Clinton waltzes away from multiple murders but don't dare call out the fact that the democrats stole the 2020 election in at least six states.

They don't realize that this will backfire. No one wants a few people to decide who can run.

I can’t wait to see them prove that Cawthorn’s claims were baseless. Let’s finally get all of the evidence before a court and let that great big kitty out of the bag.

To my knowledge, NONE of those incarcerated (illegally) for activities they allegedly participated in om January 6 have been charged with insurrection, sedition or "rebellion." IF Cawthorn had participated in any of these activities then, he would likely be incarcerated. Instead, Democrat shysters are driven to harass him since he is not in imprisoned. Democrats are unscrupulous.

From the Democracy in Danger crowd - desperately trying to rig the election, It's worth noting some media reports downplay that only 11 people are behind this stunt and simply say North Carolina voters want to oust Cawthorn.
