Democrat Chis Anglin - a 32 year old 7-year lawyer switched party affiliation to Republican just prior to the deadline and joined the race between Barbara Jackson and Anita Earls. He stole enough votes to get Earls elected.

Here's the "Meet the Candidates" from the Raleigh News and Observer back in October:

Quote:Jackson, 56, has been on the N.C. Supreme Court since 2010 and was on the N.C. Court of Appeals for six years prior to that. From 2015-2017 she led a technology committee focused on increasing access to the court system. Earlier in her career she was a state government lawyer. She worked in the administration of former Republican Gov. Jim Martin and later was the top lawyer in the N.C. Department of Labor under Republican Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry. She got her law degree from UNC.

Earls, 58, has mostly focused on civil rights and voting rights in her career. She is most well-known for leading successful lawsuits against North Carolina’s gerrymandering and voter ID laws as part of her work for the Durham-based Southern Coalition for Social Justice, which she founded in 2007. Previously she worked in the U.S. Department of Justice under former Democratic President Bill Clinton and at the Charlotte law firm founded by civil rights lawyer Julius Chambers. She got her law degree from Yale.

Anglin, 32, owns a solo law firm in Raleigh. He practices many areas of law, with a focus on personal injury cases. He got his law degree from Elon.

Republicans tried to block Anglin from the ticket but failed after an NC court ruled their retroactive filing rules unconstitutional.

He got enough idiots to vote for him, so that's on them.

There were three candidates, 2 rep and 1 dem, had to select 1. Jackson R ran ads warning people but it wasn't enough. George Soros pac backed the trickery. I feel sorry for you guys in NC, you got screwed.

Proof that this was a dirty trick will be Anglin becoming a junior partner in a major NC law firm and never seeking elected office again.

A powerful endorsement here for Single Transferable Vote and Instant Runoffs.
