A federal judge shut down a legal challenge to North Carolina Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn's candidacy from a group of voters and advocacy groups
Wilmington, North Carolina A federal judge on Friday shut down a legal challenge to North Carolina Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn's candidacy from a group of voters and advocacy groups who claimed that an old provision of the US Constitution banned him from running because of his role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection.
