Thank you

A huge thank you to the voters, volunteers, and donors who made the blue tsunami possible! North Carolina sent a clear message about corrupt, right-wing leaders in Raleigh and D.C., about the values we hold dear, and about the future we want for all of us.

FLIP NC will be back after a short break with more reaction and deeper analysis.

Taking back our state courts

In 2024, Justice Riggs was elected to a full 8-year term. In 2026, every other statewide judicial seat held by a Democrat – and no seat held by a Republican – was up for election.

They all won!

In 2028, we can take back our state courts. There will be eight statewide judicial seats up for election – 3 on the NC Supreme Court and 5 on the NC Court of Appeals. All eight are current held by Republicans, including Jefferson Griffin, who spent 6 months trying to steal an election he lost or four of the Republican judges who tried to help him do it. If we win these seats in 2028, Democrats will hold a majority on both courts.

We need judges who will respect our constitution and protect our rights and our democracy, and it’s vital that we elect them before new election maps are drawn for the next decade.

Congratulations to these outstanding candidates!

Congratulations to these amazing candidates for running hard and staying the course. One step closer to flipping our state courts blue!

The far right has taken over our state courts, and we’re fighting back!

Following the 2022 elections, extremist Republicans took over our state courts. Led by Republican Paul Newby, the new right-wing majority has wielded its power in unprecedented ways, trampling norms and conventions, overturning the prior court’s rulings, and aiding right-wing lawmakers’ unconstitutional power grabs for partisan gain. Read more about the corrupt GOP court and why FLIP NC chose to shift our focus to our state courts.
