Rep. Madison Cawthorn says petitioners are 'very close' to getting him barred from running for re-el

re-election this year

North Carolina congressman Madison Cawthorn said on Monday that a petition filed against him is close to successfully blocking him from running for office this year.

"They are actually very close," Cawthorn said when asked on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" about the possibility of his disqualification from the upcoming primary. Carlson described the petition as an effort towards "ending democracy."

"Now what's going on in North Carolina is that the State Board of Election, a panel of five people, is asserting that they have the ability to bar 740,000-plus Americans in my district from being able to elect me, to send me to Washington to be their weapon to fight against the deep state," Cawthorn said.




In January, a group of North Carolina voters filed a complaint with their state's Board of Election, asking that it disqualify Cawthorn from running for Congress under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Under the amendment, a person can be barred from holding office if they "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" after taking an oath to support the Constitution.
