Abstract:

Last year the General Assembly allowed Republican Justice Bob Edmunds a retention election, a system never before used in North Carolina. In a retention election, the only choice is whether to keep the incumbent or to appoint a replacement. This violated the state constitution, forcing Edmunds to run in a real election beginning on June 7.
