The challengers claim that Cawthorn is ineligible to run because he allegedly facilitated the Jan. 6 insurrection, an argument with surprising force under North Carolina law and the U.S. Constitution. Rather than adjudicate this challenge through the normal process, Cawthorn seeks an injunction holding that federal law forbids the state from investigating, let alone disqualifying, his candidacy. But the legal team contesting his reelection has boxed in the congressman so dexterously that he has resorted to an argument of eye-popping gall and inanity: Cawthorn asserts that the Amnesty Act of 1872—a shameful law that perpetuated white supremacy in the South—absolves him of disqualification from office even if he engaged in an insurrection.

A panel of local election officials conducts this inquiry and has the power to compel witnesses—including the candidate—to testify under oath.
