GOP pursues court order over rejected signature check motion
Summary by Ground News
The North Carolina Republican Party filed two motions in Wake County Superior Court this week, asking the court to block the board from enforcing its prohibition of county election officials scrutinizing signatures on absentee voting documents. The board denied the request in a 3-2 party-line vote, with three Democrats voting against signature checks and two Republicans voting in favor. The state board argues in its declaratory ruling that state law does not explicitly outline authority for signature matching.
