Get out and VOTE in the June Primary for NC Supreme Court Justice
The stakes for the N.C. Supreme Court race cannot be exaggerated. If it were up to the state's ruling party—and it almost was—we wouldn't even be having an election for that seat. Instead, there would be a "retention election," something lawmakers ginned up to protect Republican Justice Robert Edmunds and their 4–3 majority on the court. If voters gave him a thumbs-down, our Republican governor would've appointed a successor.
As the only Republican in the Supreme Court race, Edmunds will certainly make the two-person runoff in November. Of his three opponents—two Democrats and one unaffiliated candidate in an ostenbibly nonpartisan race—we endorse Wake County Superior Court Judge Michael R. Morgan.
Morgan, a Democrat with twenty-one years of experience on the superior and district courts, is highly rated by the state bar. His career in the courts and in the classroom as a law lecturer shows an impressive dedication to his profession and the community. He's reluctant to talk politics and has criticized Edmunds for trumpeting his own conservative cred.

Early voting has already started and you can find the early voting sites for your county here: http://enr.ncsbe.gov/OS_Sites/
Be sure to vote early if you won't be able to get to the polls on June 7th. We have a chance to put up an excellent Dem candidate against the current right wing guy who has been forced
to stand for election in November.
