All NC county elections boards shift from Democratic to GOP control

North Carolina’s elections shakeup extended to all 100 counties Tuesday as local boards flipped from Democratic to GOP control and State Auditor Dave Boliek appointed Republican chairs to lead them.

The changes expand GOP control of elections to the local level.

Last month, Boliek appointed a Republican majority state elections board under a new law that took appointment power away from Democratic Gov. Josh Stein.

Stein has sued over the law, but state appellate courts have allowed it to go into effect. Historically, the governor’s party has held majorities on the state and county boards.

Check your voter registration regularly! First up for the Repubs will be to eliminate voters from the rolls--particularly Dems in Dem stronghold districts. Then they will reduce the days of early voting and number of early voting locations in Dem strongholds. Make Dems line up for hours to vote.
