The NCGP received renewed state recognition Monday, August 1st but due to the State Board of Elections the Greens missed this year's candidate filing deadline and a legal victory will still be required for the Greens to appear on North Carolina ballots in November. In a separate lawsuit the NC Democratic Party wants the new state recognition removed. For more information see: www.ncgreenparty.org/news and www.matthewhohforsenate.org/category/media/statements/ and previous posts. There will be an Emergency Rally for Democracy and Voter Choice in downtown Raleigh later today, Friday, August 5th. Below is the NCGP's announcement email:

Most outrageously, the Democratic Party lawsuit claims that NC Green Party, a new small independent dues-paying party of working class members being on the ballot will somehow hurt the Democratic Party’s vast resources and encumber a burden on their own responsibilities to get their voters to the polls!
Both of the major Wall Street parties see themselves as primarily responsible to the big donor class and not the interests of their voters. The Democratic Party is desperate to keep the political discussion within their narrow spectrum of non-solutions and therefore sees a party that provides an answer to militarism, infrastructural decline, debt and inequity as a major threat
NC State Board of Elections was unable to challenge enough signatures that were already validated by county board and conceded by giving [the NC Green Party recognition.]
