✍️ North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper and Governor-elect Josh Stein filed a lawsuit against a GOP law that erodes the powers of incoming Democratic state leaders, disputing a provision that moves the ability to appoint members of the North Carolina State Board of Elections from the governor's authority to the state auditor's office.
👉 The lawsuit challenges a provision that moves the ability to appoint members of the North Carolina State Board of Elections from the governor's authority to the state auditor's office. 👉 The change would likely result in the state elections board remaining under GOP control for the next few years. 👉 The governor and governor-elect argue that the provision is unconstitutional and violates the separation of powers.
