The board ultimately voted to recognize the Constitution Party and the We The People Party but denied the Justice For All Party. The decisions, mostly along party lines, raised questions about how the board made its determinations, any third-party communication related to the issues, and potential political motivation driving the ruling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe question the actions of the Board of Elections,\u201d Rep. Jake Johnson (R-Polk) said. \u201cWe need answers as to why three parties that had seemingly met the requirements to be on the ballot, were rejected. If this ruling was politically motivated, as is perceived, we owe it to the citizens of North Carolina to bring that to light.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow do we trust the board and its staff when their actions seem to be designed to limit ballot access for new parties?\u201d Rep. Harry Warren (R-Rowan) said. \u201cPeople need to trust the election system. The process to approve new parties this year has done little to foster that trust.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House Oversight and Reform Select Committee has called elections officials and an expert to testify before the committee on Tuesday, July 23, at 9 a.m. in the Legislative Building\u2019s Blue Ridge Auditorium.
