North Carolina Bill Could Change Voting Rules If State Republican Majority Overrides a Veto

North Carolina may make it more difficult to vote by mail, as the Republican-controlled state legislature is expected to override a veto from Gov. Roy Cooper (D) on a sweeping absentee ballot bill.

Senate Bill 747 would reduce the period of time an absentee ballot can be received in order to count, as well as increases signature scrutiny and other measures which advocates say would result in less rightful votes being counted.

“This legislation has nothing to do with election security and everything to do with Republicans keeping and gaining power,” Cooper said in his veto message last month. “It requires valid votes to be tossed out unnecessarily, schemes to restrict early voting and absentee ballots, encourages voter intimidation and attempts to give Republican legislators the authority to decide contested election results.”
