Nonprofit organization Free Speech for People, a "nonpartisan, non-profit legal advocacy organization with constitutional law expertise," which is serving as lead counsel in the matter, announced on Monday that the challenge was filed before the North Carolina State Board of Elections.

The challenge "alleges that Cawthorn is constitutionally disqualified from public office under the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution based on reasonable suspicion that he helped facilitate the January 6, 2021 insurrection," the nonprofit described in its press release.
