Few political controversies in North Carolina loom larger right now than the effort of Republican state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin to overturn the election he lost last fall to Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs.

Griffin still wants the ballots of more than 60,000 disproportionately Black and young voters thrown out on technical grounds and recently, in response, Deborah Dicks Maxwell, the president of the North Carolina NAACP, penned a power essay condemning the purge idea as a dangerous ploy that threatens lasting damage to our state.

This past week, Newsline caught up with Maxwell from her Wilmington home where she displayed a sign reading “1898” — a reminder of the horrific racist coup perpetrated on that city many years ago in the aftermath of another controversial election.
