The Republican-controlled legislature in North Carolina passed a sweeping bill that effectively strips powers from incoming Democratic leaders, reshaping elections and judicial authority.
The legislation, ostensibly for disaster relief, restructures the election board, diminishing the governor's appointment power and likely increasing Republican control over voting.
Changes include reprimanding the governor's ability to fill court vacancies while also limiting the attorney general's authority to contest new laws from the legislature.
The bill shortens the timeframe for voters to resolve mail-in ballot issues and mandates expedited counting of provisional ballots.
