Lewis Backs Out Of Court Candidates Forum
The Federalist Society held a major forum this week for candidates seeking office in the North Carolina Court System. Regrettably, I was unable to attend, but it looks like the event was a great success:

We’ve covered some of the main races here on the blog, including the interesting Supreme Court Justice race. Both Supreme Court Justice candidates (Justice Mark Martin and Judge Ola Lewis) were invited to the forum, however it looks like Judge Ola Lewis backed out due to an ‘unspecified’ conflict:

NC Supreme Court Denies Emergency Fund Release For Opportunity Scholarships
Legislative leaders asked the NC Supreme Court for an emergency release of funds for the Opportunity Scholarships while the decision of Judge Hobgood is being appealed.
The News and Observer piece doesn’t make mention of the legal representation for the parents who has also filed an emergency motion. Representation for the parents in the suit also filed with the NC Supreme Court. I haven’t seen where this motion has been ruled on yet. It asks for the funds for those children already accepted to be released so they are not in academic limbo.

About That General Election Ballot…
A recent set of statements made by the campaign for Judge Ola Lewis regarding ballot order are not ringing quite true. The claim is being made that the Legislature have the NC Board of Elections the right to put Justice Mark Martin’s name first on the ballot.
The authority was given to the State Board of Elections to do so, that part is true.
This claim appears to be framed like an attack on one candidate, that part is not true.
Before this thing turns into a bruhaha, let’s clarify: This is not a change aimed at any one candidate. It applies to all candidates and provides continuity by bringing the General election and the primary election ballot processes into alignment.

NC Supreme Court Races: Hunter/Ervin Associate Justice Race
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been writing about the judicial races in North Carolina this election cycle. I ended my series yesterday with the Beasley/Robinson race, but have been asked by readers to continue on to a few other races going on. This installment, we’ll look at the Associate Justice Race between Bob Hunter and Sam Ervin IV. Both are seeking the seat being vacated by Justice Mark Martin. While these races are non-partisan on the ballot, Hunter is Republican and Ervin is a Democrat.
Prior articles on these races will be located at the bottom of this article for reader reference. Continue reading
