Governor Veto Sparks Election Law Battle | Raleigh News

Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description

Governor Josh Stein is set to veto House Bill 958, a Republican-backed election law that critics say makes voting harder and opens the door to election challenges — but House Republicans lack the votes to override it, and won’t return to session until after November. Meanwhile, a more bipartisan bill, House Bill 834, passed the Senate unanimously with tweaks to ballot deadlines and vote handling — though Democrats worry about a provision allowing appeals in any county court, potentially enabling “judge shopping.” Stein hasn’t decided on signing HB 834 yet, as the legislative session continues with other bills advancing across the chamber.
