A consent judgment requires the North Carolina State Board of Elections to use jury-duty records to identify and remove noncitizens from voter rolls. The agreement was accepted by Superior Court Judge Jennifer Bedford after a hearing on Wednesday.
Fox NewsThe state of North Carolina must remove noncitizens excused from jury duty from voter rolls under a consent judgment secured by the Republican National Committee and the North Carolina Republican Party. S. citizens. Those individuals will be removed from the rolls.
Judge Jennifer Bedford accepted the agreement after a 19-minute online hearing on Wednesday. The agreement sets a schedule through 2028 for clerks to send the information to the elections board. S. citizen.
The agreement stems from a lawsuit the Republican groups filed in 2024, accusing the state board of failing to comply with a North Carolina law requiring clerks of court to report people who seek to be excused from jury service by saying they are not citizens.
Two groups represented by the Elias Law Group objected to part of the deal requiring the list of people who claimed noncitizenship for jury-duty purposes to be posted on the state elections board’s FTP website. Their attorney argued that publishing the information online could raise privacy concerns.
The RNC said it filed a public-records request in 2024 seeking to determine whether the board was complying with the law but did not receive a response. The board later agreed to use the jury-duty information as part of voter-roll maintenance.
