North Carolina Governor Vetoes GOP Election Bill, Setting Up Override Clash
Epoch Times ^ | 8/24/23 | Samantha Flom

Posted on 08/25/2023 3:44:29 AM PDT by CFW

North Carolina’s Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed a Republican-led bill on Thursday that would make sweeping changes to the state’s election laws, including the rules for absentee voting and same-day registration.

The veto is likely to be overridden by the state’s GOP-controlled General Assembly.

“Right now, legislative Republicans in North Carolina are pushing an all-out assault on the right to vote,” the governor charged in a Thursday video message.

“We are creating a secure election system that makes it easy to vote and protects election integrity,” said Republican state Sen. Warren Daniel of Burke County. “But Gov. Cooper wants his handpicked partisans running our elections, and he apparently feels threatened by North Carolinians observing what happens in their polling places.”

Democrats are against any law that will tighten security measures in regards to voting.

He means that this is an assault on voter fraud. These Rats are masters of projection.

The assault is on the right to vote illegally. As it should be. The dems show themselves to be the party of lies.

Oh yes, they want countless laws when it comes to the legal acquisition and possession of firearms, but when it comes to photo ID and other things taken for granted for voting in Canada, Australia, the U.K., India, and most other countries they pitch these petty little fits.

Same day registration might permit somebody to vote in both Wisconsin and Michigan.

Just think if states with a Republican governor and Republican-controlled legislature (AZ and GA) had stood up to the SCAMdemic-justified cheat-by-mail-in ballots in 2020.

But the governors and a good chunk of the legislatures were RINOs and knew damned well that cheat-by-mail-in ballots would be used to give the Vegetable 81 million votes.

They were pushing a national 'vaccine passport.' Photo ID is racist if it is for voting, but when it comes to pushing vaxx mandates down everyone's throat, that's another matter entirely...

What do you think of public officials who are opposed to measures that enhance election integrity? I think they obtained their office through vote fraud and abuse it in solely in their own interest.

Cooper won election due to illegal vote harvesting in Bladon County NC and by finding a Judge who ordered polls in heavily Democrat Triangle areas to stay open 3 hours after closing time.

Once elected, his newly appointed Election Commission refused to investigate these charges.

There is, already, thousands who vote in Michigan and Florida.
One or both by absentee.

So far Cooper has had one excellent bill after another stuffed right down his throat after a veto override this year. I EAGERLY look forward to him being forced to eat it yet again.

After this one, constitutional carry and school choice would be 2 more I’d love to see.

EVERY country in Europe bans mass mail in voting, votes on paper ballots, has voting day instead of voting week/month/season, has multiparty election observers who have a meaningful right to observe the count and challenge each ballot and requires the voter to present government issued photo ID in order to vote.

So does Canada. So does Australia. So does even Mexico and India.

Only in the US is any of this called “racist”.

That is already happening it’s not a huge problem but should be stopped, here in Florida we’ve had cases of someone voting in New York, flying to Florida and voting again, if they own property in both states

A “clash”? A simple vote in the legislature is all it takes.

I'll let you decide: Trump was supposedly an incumbent candidate with a lot of negatives that should have turned off voters of his own party... and totally toxic to the Dems. Cooper was unpopular with both but at least had a (D) behind his name. Trump won and so did Cooper. I still haven't reconciled that outcome in my mind.

The suggestion here is that those in a chain to investigate voting irregularities won, including Cooper... and he shut down any inquiries.
