Election 2024: Convicted felon Joseph Gibson to remain on the primary ballot - watch what he exclusively told Cops & Congress
Here's what the North Carolina State Board of Elections said today, and what the public records show.
What happens when someone is a convicted felon in Connecticut, moves to North Carolina, completes probation, registers to vote, and wants to run for office? A lot.
Today the North Carolina State Board of Elections upheld a ruling from the Rockingham County Board of Elections to allow Joseph A. Gibson III to remain on the Republican primary election ballot. He will face incumbent Rep. Reece Pyrtle, a retired Police Chief.
This has been an interesting case to watch for felon restoration of voting rights, First Amendment rights, the inner workings of North Carolina Republican politics, and now new information from the candidate who told me he’s recently been working with the DEA. He has several pending misdemeanor charges in NC, court records show. Gibson is against gambling and casinos, a key issue in the house race and Rockingham County. Hear what he has to say about Senator Phil Berger and more.
