A Republican effort to shift control of the North Carolina State Board of Elections from the governor to legislative party leaders is closing in on final General Assembly approval.
of the North Carolina State Board of Elections from the governor to legislators closed in on final General Assembly approval Tuesday as the House passed a bill that could oust the state elections director a few months before the November 2024 election.the Senate
The board, which currently consists of three Democrats and two Republicans, would grow to eight members under the bill and likely become an even split between the two major parties. The House speaker, the Senate leader and the minority party leaders in each chamber would each get two picks. Former President Donald Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was riddled with fraud have prompted a wave of GOP election laws and administrative overhauls as he mounts his campaign to take back the White House. North Carolina was Trump’s narrowest victory in 2020 and is expected to be a battleground next year.
Democratic Rep. Allen Buansi, of Orange County, raised concern that crucial decisions could “essentially get held hostage because of a tied board.” That gridlock, he argued, would benefit the party that controls the legislature because the bill would let the General Assembly intervene in some cases when election boards can’t make personnel decisions.
