North Carolina Governor Takes Legal Action Against GOP's Election Rules Change

TL;DR Summary
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has filed a lawsuit against Republicans over a state Senate bill that changed election rules. The bill establishes bipartisan election boards, giving equal control to appointed Democrats and Republicans, which could lead to gridlock in decision-making. Cooper argues that the bill disregards constitutional principles and undermines the executive powers granted to him as Governor. He also expressed concerns about reduced early voting opportunities and longer lines at the polls. This comes after Republican lawmakers overrode another elections bill vetoed by Cooper, which advocates say would result in fewer counted ballots.
