North Carolina governor to veto election bill, sparking override showdown with GOP supermajority

  • North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper announced that he will veto a Republican elections bill that would eliminate a grace period for voting by mail and expand allowances for partisan poll observers.
  • Governor Cooper accused Republicans of attempting to suppress the right to vote in order to maintain and gain power, claiming that the bill would particularly make it harder for young and nonwhite voters to participate.
  • The bill, which Republicans argue aims to improve election processes, would go into effect in early 2024 and is part of a larger battle between the major parties in anticipation of upcoming elections in the Tar Heel state.
