NC Democratic bill targets party-switchers after Rep. Cotham changes allegiance to GOP
Fox News
In response to Rep. Cotham changing parties, North Carolina Senate Democrats have filed a bill that could subject party-switchers to an early election if they want to keep the seat.
Her change angered Democrats both in Raleigh and in her Mecklenburg County district where she won last fall by over 18 percentage points. Critics say those who voted for her are being robbed of representation. Speakers at a Tuesday news conference about the bill included Cotham's constituents.
