RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – A spokesman for North Carolina’s Republican Party is discounting a lawsuit by a congressional candidate barred from GOP debates and access to internal party data.
State GOP spokesman Jeff Hauser said Monday that candidate Chris Anglin’s lawsuit seeking access to the party’s resources is nothing more than a publicity stunt.

Anglin’s state lawsuit seeks to force the state GOP to give him access to benefits provided to nine others in the 9th congressional district field.
A hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday, April 30th at 3pm in the Wake County Courthouse.
Republicans call him a Democratic plant. Anglin was a registered Democrat until weeks before running for state Supreme Court as a Republican. The incumbent Republican lost that court seat to a Democrat last year.
The May 14 congressional primary was ordered after an operative working for the Republican who appeared to win last year’s election was accused of illegally handling mail-in ballots.
