Governor of North Carolina Sues Republicans Over Election Rules Change

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) sued Republicans over a state Senate bill that changed election rules in the state.

Cooper’s lawsuit, filed against President Pro Tempore Phillip Berger, Speaker of the House Timothy Moore and the state of North Carolina, said they showed a “flagrant disregard” for constitutional principles that establish separation of powers in state government and the executive powers granted to him as Governor.

“It also fails to respect fundamental principles of representative government and the basic guarantees of the North Carolina Constitution, thus requiring the Governor to again secure the constitutional rights of his office and protect the constitutional powers allocated to the executive branch of state government by the people,” reads Cooper’s lawsuit, which was filed in Wake County.
