NC Board Members Petition to Fire Longtime Elections Director
Description
Three Republican members of the Cumberland County Board of Elections have petitioned to fire their longtime director, Angie Amaro, sparking controversy and allegations of underhanded tactics. The move comes after Republicans gained control last year, shifting appointments from the governor to the state auditor. Amaro, who has served for 25 years and rose to director in 2022, is praised for her service, but now faces a potential dismissal. Meanwhile, similar drama unfolds in Anson and New Hanover counties, with complaints against Eldridge over a $25,000 anonymous donation and a dismissed complaint against Devore. Amaro has 15 days to respond, and the state board will decide, potentially leading to a hearing. The situation highlights the shifting landscape of elections.
