North Carolina GOP pushes constitutional change on elections board
Republican leaders propose a constitutional amendment to strip governor Roy Cooper of control over the nine member elections and ethics board. The plan would require eight board members chosen by the General Assembly with eight seats split between the speaker and Senate leaders, and would prevent any party from holding a majority. The move aims to curb executive power and place appointments with lawmakers, while Cooper warns it would upend checks and balances and influence voting, energy costs, and water quality.
