“Why one NC GOP official calls Republican Supreme Court candidate ‘the enemy'”

News and Observer:

North Carolina Republicans are crying foul over a candidate who could change the balance of the state Supreme Court. And that candidate is a Republican.

Raleigh attorney Chris Anglin filed at the last minute last week. He joined incumbent Justice Barbara Jackson, a Republican, and Democrat Anita Earls in the race.

But until June 7, Anglin was a registered Democrat. Republicans worry that by siphoning votes from Jackson, he could open the door for Democrat Earls. GOP executive director Dallas Woodhouse made it clear whom the party supports.

“The party has endorsed somebody, and (Anglin) will be treated like the enemy he is,” Woodhouse said.
