Gov. Cooper - who, ironically, was in DC lobbying for hurricane relief funds at the time that this happened - will surely veto the bill. Then its future will depend on several Republicans from the western part of the state who initially voted against it, and whether they join their counterparts in overriding the veto.
Here are their names and phone numbers:
Rep. Karl Gillespie (R-Macon) - 919-733-5859
Rep. Mike Clampitt (R-Swain) - 828-736-6222
Rep. Mark Pless (R-Haywood) - 919-733-5732

The bill would also limit the governor's ability to appoint judges, restrict the Democratic attorney general's ability to take action without the consent of the Republican-led NCGA, bar the AG from participating in any argument that would invalidate a law passed by the NCGA, make it harder for people to vote absentee and have their ballots counted.
They are doing this as they lose their veto-proof majority in the state legislature, to ensure they hold on to power regardless.

NC Republicans have stealthily added a legislative power grab to a paltry hurricane relief bill. They are using the cover of hurricane relief for western NC to shift power over the state board of elections from our Democratic governor to our newly-elected Republican auditor.

Just got back from the Chapel Hill community rally in solidarity with Gaza and the UNC students who were brutalized by police from all over the state today. Deeply moved by the bravery of student protesters across the country, and by members of our community who showed up to support them.
