The newly elected North Carolina Democratic Gov. Josh Stein and current Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper filed a lawsuit against the GOP-controlled state legislature’s leadership on Thursday

North Carolina Republican lawmakers voted to override a gubernatorial veto of a bill that strips the state's incoming Democratic officials of key powers.

After struggling at the ballot box, North Carolina Republicans could've honored the will of the state's voters. They instead launched a brazen power grab.

North Carolina’s elections board has dismissed protests filed by several Republican candidates trailing narrowly in their races last month who have questioned well over 60,000 ballots cast this fall.

Republican candidate Jefferson Griffin's protests over more than 60,000 ballots got nowhere before the North Carolina State Board of Election, but he will likely appeal in state court

Republicans in the state legislature gave an ally control over the state’s elections board, rewrote ballot-counting rules and chipped away at the power of the incoming Democratic governor.

After the state Senate overrode Roy Cooper's veto, the state House did the same, meaning the bill will go into law, but it will likely face legal challenges.

The North Carolina State Board of Elections voted Wednesday to deny a GOP challenge that attempted to throw out 60,000 ballots in a state Supreme Court race. The Democratic incumbent in the race leads by just over 700 votes.

The veto marks the last chance for Republicans to act as the party lost its supermajority in last month’s elections.

Tight electoral margins might be thought to foster centrism. In reality, partisan power grabs are incentivized.

Republicans in the North Carolina General Assembly voted to reduce powers for Democrats who won key races in the Tar Heel State this November, including the governor, attorney general and lieutenant governor.

North Carolina lawmakers have enacted a law over the governor's veto that would diminish the powers afforded to his successor and other other Democratic statewide winners in the Nov. 5 elections.
