North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper says he'll veto a sweeping Republican elections bill that would end a grace period for voting by mail and make new allowances for partisan poll observers
that would end a grace period for voting by mail and make new allowances for partisan poll observers., the Democratic governor accused legislative Republicans of using their slim veto-proof majorities to execute “an all-out assault on the right to vote,” which he said has nothing to do with election security and everything to do with their party keeping and gaining power.
Republicans say the changes are needed to improve efficiency and restore trust in the state’s electoral process. But Democrats argue that the changes would make it more difficult for minority groups to cast ballots and could increase intimidation at the polls. The governor’s announcement comes as both major parties strengthen their forces in the Tar Heel state, which is expected to be a presidential battleground and home to one of the nation’s most competitive gubernatorial races. Most of the proposed election changes would take effect in early 2024, before the state holds elections for president, governor, Congress, the General Assembly and other state and local offices.
New guidelines for partisan poll observers would allow them to move freely about the voting location instead of being confined to a certain area.
