For more than a decade now, despite our state’s impressive record of honest and accurate elections, Republican legislators have passed bill after bill to make casting a ballot harder and more complex for voters and counting them more challenging for election officials.
As Newsline’s Rob Schofield discussed in a recent conversation with Bob Phillips of Common Cause North Carolina, another round of changes along these lines is part of the massive government reorganization and power grab bill that Republican legislators recently sent to Gov. Cooper.
And just to add insult to injury, the new proposal emerged at almost the same time that Senate Republican leader Phil Berger was wrongfully promoting election paranoia by casting aspersions at election officials and questioning Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs’ narrow re-election win.
