U.S. Rep. Dan Bishop Sues North Carolina Judges Over Withholding Votes in Election Case

U.S. House Representative Dan Bishop, a Republican from North Carolina, said he filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday over the anonymous nature of votes from courts in the state in several votes earlier this month that affected the 2022 primary and general elections.

Bishop said Wednesday that the decisions from appeals court judges and the state Supreme Court should not have been allowed without the names and votes of the involved judges being released.

On December 6, a panel of three appeals court judges voted to suspend the acceptance period of candidates filing for U.S. House and state legislative races because of concerns and lawsuits claiming that newly drawn legislative maps are advantageous to Republicans by taking voting power away from minority groups through gerrymandering.

Later that night, the full 15-judge Court of Appeals reversed that decision, with "a majority" of the judges approving the decision.
