A brief filed with the US Supreme Court accuses North Carolina Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein of ethical misconduct, related to the legal challenge against the state's Voter ID law. The filing claims Stein acted unethically by attempting to withdraw the state's appeal and dismiss lawyers making the state legislature's case. Before becoming state Attorney General, Stein was a fact witness for the plaintiffs. Lawyers are barred from acting as a witness in a case and the attorney of record in the same case.
