Description

An internal shuffle is raising new questions about partisanship at the North Carolina State Board of Elections. 


Less than a week before voters went to the polls this month, a top staffer took voluntary leave after what appeared to be an internal dispute over a statement refuting a Democratic Party leader. That came a day after the board’s top lawyer had departed.


The departures come months after the elections board shifted from Democratic to Republican control. It also has new oversight from the Republican state auditor. 


WRAL state government reporter Paul Specht talks about what the changes mean.
