  • North Carolina Governor Sues GOP Lawmakers Over Elections Board Authority

    Broke On: Tuesday, 17 October 2023 North Carolina's Governor, Roy Cooper, has filed a lawsuit against the state's Republican lawmakers over a measure that eliminates his authority over the state's elections board. The measure, passed by the GOP-controlled legislature, restructures the state elections board and reduces the governor's power to control its membership. The governor's lawsuit argues that the measure violates the state constitution's separation of powers clause. The state's new voting rules have been challenged in court multiple times, with GOP lawmakers seeking to get involved in the litigation. The new rules, which include stricter voter ID requirements and a reduction in early voting days, have been criticized by Democrats and voting rights advocates who argue they disproportionately affect minority and low-income voters.
