Democrats try to block attempt to throw out votes in North Carolina election

DNC files legal action over Republican lawsuit seeking to dispute re-election of Democratic supreme court justice

The Democratic National Committee on Friday attempted to stop North Carolina Republicans' effort to invalidate tens of thousands of ballots from the November election and upend a state supreme court race that Democrats won.

The DNC filed a legal action on Friday to intervene in a lawsuit filed by the Republican National Committee in Wake county, North Carolina, in late December, seeking to throw out votes because of alleged missing information on registration forms.
