NC GOP Overrides Veto to Reduce Democratic Officials' Powers

North Carolina Republicans have overridden a gubernatorial veto to pass a law that shifts control of state and local election boards from the Democratic governor to the Republican-controlled state auditor. This move, criticized as a power grab by Democrats, also shortens the time voters have to provide ID and limits the incoming Democratic attorney general's powers. The changes are expected to face legal challenges, as they were included in a bill allocating hurricane relief funds, which are now delayed.
