Governor vetoes North Carolina elections bill

North Carolina Democratic Gov. Josh Stein vetoed a controversial elections law bill on Monday, saying the veto was necessary to defend voting rights. House Bill 958 includes provisions that would reduce early voting periods during primaries and special elections, require state Auditor Dave Boliek to conduct post-election audits of county election systems, and use federal databases with known problems to identify people who have died but remain on the voter rolls. Republicans said the changes would make elections more secure and more efficient, but Democrats called it a “power grab.” Christine Zhu, NC Newsline.
