North Carolina Republicans override governor's veto to enact elections overhaul ahead of 2024
1.7 k views
Republican lawmakers in North Carolina on Tuesday enacted major changes to the state's election laws, overriding vetoes by the state's Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, who has criticized the measures as a "threat to our democracy."
The new laws will change the makeup of state and local election boards, reduce the time to return mail-in ballots and give new powers to partisan poll watchers.

Voting rights groups have threatened legal action.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
