Protesters Rally as NC Considers Sweep of Election Rules
TL;DR Summary
Protesters gathered outside the North Carolina General Assembly as lawmakers debated House Bill 958, a broad GOP-backed election-overhaul package that would tighten voting rules, ban ranked-choice voting, expand post-election audits, and boost donor/party transparency while granting new political oversight powers to the State Board of Elections. Democrats warn the changes could undermine democracy and invite chaos; Republicans say they would strengthen election integrity. The hearing featured limited public input as amendments were debated.
