North Carolina GOP Overrides Veto to Shift Power from Democrats

The Republican-controlled North Carolina legislature has passed a law reducing the powers of incoming Democratic officials, including Governor-elect Josh Stein. The changes include shifting control of the state's election board appointments to the Republican state auditor and limiting the governor's ability to appoint judges. This move follows a history of power shifts in the state and is expected to face legal challenges, although the Republican-dominated state supreme court may uphold the law. The legislature's actions reflect ongoing political polarization in North Carolina.
