North Carolina Senate Republicans file bill to strip Gov. Cooper’s election board appointment powers
Fox News
Legislation that would remove North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper’s capability to appoint members to the State Board of Elections has been filed by the Senate Republicans.
The dueling proposals escalate the clash between Cooper and the General Assembly to reshape the balance of power within government in the final weeks of the year's main legislative session. Still, Republicans maintain the upper hand after regaining veto-proof control of the legislature in April.
The current state board has five members appointed by the governor — three Democrats and two Republicans from candidate lists made by state party leaders.
