NC Appeals Court OKs auditor appointing elections board members

The General Assembly did not violate the constitution when it transferred Board of Elections appointments from the governor to the state auditor, a split Appeals Court panel decided. The legislature passed a controversial law after the 2024 election transferring Board of Elections appointment power to newly elected Republican state Auditor Dave Boliek, taking that power away from Democratic Governor-elect Josh Stein. In the decision issued Wednesday, the Appeals Court overturned the ruling of a three-judge panel that had sided with Stein. Lynn Bonner, NC Newsline.
