MARIANNE WILLIAMSON FOR PRESIDENT 2024 January 2nd, 2023 Statement from the Marianne Williamson campaign: We are disappointed that the North Carolina Board of Elections abdicated their authority to protect North Carolina voters from the North Carolina Democratic State Party's attempt to circumvent democracy. It is not the job of the State Board of Elections to protect incumbents. It is their job to oversee elections in a non-partisan manner. By the standards of inclusion set in North Carolina state statutes, Marianne Williamson is a FEC-certified Presidential candidate, has received extensive national news media coverage, is a member of the Democratic Party, and meets all the requirements for the Office of President as set forth in the United States Constitution. Their decision to protect political parties instead of voters is a failure to protect democracy itself. The North Carolina State Board of Elections has disgraced themselves and disgraced the voters of North Carolina. The crisis of Democracy in our nation is institutional.
