    STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA IN THE GENERAL COURT OF JUSTICE SUPERIOR COURT DIVISION COUNTY OF WAKE FILE NO.: 19-CVS-0025 MARK E. HARRIS, ) Petitioner ) ) v. ) ) THE NORTH CAROLINA ) PETITIONER MARK E. HARRIS' BIPARTISAN STATE BOARD OF ) MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT ELECTIONS AND ETHICS ) OF A WRIT OF MANDAMUS ENFORCEMENT a/k/a THE ) NORTH CAROLINA STATE ) BOARD OF ELECTIONS AND ) ETHICS ENFORCEMENT, ) Respondent ) In response to this Court's invitation for briefing, Dr. Mark E. Harris ("Dr. Harris") submits this Memorandum of Law in Support of his Petition for a Writ of Mandamus. Dr. Harris asks this Court to command the Executive Director of the North Carolina Bipartisan State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement (the "Bipartisan Board") to issue a Certificate of Election immediately. In the alternative, Dr. Harris asks this Court to command the North Carolina State Board of Elections (the "State Board") to issue a Certificate of Election as soon as it is able. In addition, Dr. Harris asks this Court to command the staff of the Bipartisan Board to release any investigation materials or report into election irregularities in North Carolina's Ninth Congressional District (the "Ninth District"), so as to remove the cloud that the Board has placed over Dr. Harris' election. INTRODUCTION On December 28, 2018, the Bipartisan Board dissolved. The General Assembly has created no immediately active successor. The Bipartisan Board's dissolution leaves the State without any body to oversee its election laws. The gap created by the Bipartisan Board's dissolution has thrown the 2018 general election cycle—a cycle that should have ended no later than December 28, 2018—into chaos.

    For Immediate Release: Thursday, October 15, 2020 Contact: Eric Stern – [email protected] Black Leaders Across North Carolina Endorse Josh Stein for Attorney General 72 Elected Officials, Former Elected Officials, and Community Leaders back Josh Stein Today, Black leaders from across North Carolina and around the country announced their support of Attorney General Josh Stein. This group of seventy-two legislators, mayors, law enforcement officers, and civil rights champions are endorsing Stein for a second term as Attorney General.

    July 30, 2018 Public Comments Processing Attn: FWS-R4-ES-2018-0035 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service MS: BPHC, 5275 Leesburg Pike Falls Church, VA 22041-3803 Re: 10(j) Rule Revision: North Carolina Legislator Comments We, the undersigned North Carolina and other legislators are writing in support of the active promotion of wild red wolf recovery in North Carolina, and to express our opposition to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (“FWS” or “the Service”) proposed changes to the red wolf recovery program. FWS must stem the rapid decline of the only wild population of red wolves in the world. With perhaps fewer than 30 wild red wolves left -- and only three known breeding pairs, the species could be soon extirpated from the wild unless the Service pursues: 1. Maintenance or expansion of the North Carolina Nonessential Experimental Population (“NC NEP”) management area; 2. Expansion of the current wild population in North Carolina; 3. Resumption of work to curtail hybridization with coyotes; 4. Improvement of law enforcement efforts to disincentivize the poaching of red wolves; 5. Monitoring of all “take” of red wolves; 6. Improvement of outreach to local residents in the recovery area; and 7. Utilization of additional reintroduction sites across the red wolf’s historic range. The Draft Environmental Assessment for Proposed Replacement of the Regulations for the Nonessential Experimental Population of Red Wolves in Northeastern North Carolina (“Draft EA”) examines only one alternative that promotes wild red wolf recovery in North Carolina, Alternative 2. In contrast, the implementation of FWS’ preferred alternative (“Alternative 3”) would mark the end of federal efforts to recover the species in the wild in North Carolina.
