From The Hill:

Independent presidential candidate Cornel West will be on the ballot in North Carolina, a federal judge ruled Monday, siding with a group of West supporters who challenged a state board of elections decision to keep West’s party off the ballot.

The Justice for All Party (JFA) was denied ballot access in North Carolina at a state board of elections meeting last month, with the board finding that the party misled voters into signing its ballot access petition.

Judge Terrence Boyle ruled Monday that the board’s reasoning was flawed, finding that it did not have proper justification to deny the Justice for All Party of access. He issued a preliminary injunction in the case, allowing West on the ballot as the case moves forward.

Boyle said the board failed to use the required “narrow tailoring” to determine whether the party’s petition signatures were invalid, instead writing them off altogether based on its own “flawed” internal analysis.
