NCGOP Statement on Democrats' Latest 'Sue til Blue' Court Filing

December 5, 2023
For Immediate Release

Democrat activists are once again abusing our courts to disrupt elections they cannot win at the ballot box. Waiting until after the candidate filing period has already opened, Democrats have launched an empty 'Sue til Blue' lawsuit seeking to once again disrupt our Congressional elections at the expense of the voters of North Carolina.

Under Republican leadership, state lawmakers conducted a redistricting process producing maps as dictated by the Constitution and previous court orders. Instead of making their case to the voters of North Carolina to win elections, like Republicans did when they won despite Democrats drawing district lines for decades, the plaintiffs elect to introduce chaos in hopes of achieving unearned political gains.

"Time and again, Democrats have demonstrated their desperation by suing for political relief," said Michael Whatley, Chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party. "After years of Democrats' 'Sue til Blue' antics, the People of North Carolina deserve certainty in their elections and we look forward to the court rejecting this political Hail Mary."
