The Republicans have passed a massive bill after losing the races for attorney general and governor — and, most likely, their veto proof legislative majority — during this month’s elections.

North Carolina Republican legislators voted to strip state’s incoming Democratic Governor and Attorney General of key powers. The bill was passed before the GOP loses their veto proof supermajority next year.

The state auditor will hold the office of state auditor after Dave Boliek, a Republican, defeated Jessica Holmes, Democrat, in the November 5 election.

The Governor’s Office currently holds the power, and it will continue to be in Democratic hands following Josh Stein’s victory over Republican Lt. Governor. Mark Robinson. Mark Robinson.

The law would also reduce the time required for voters to correct ballot errors, and force counties to count votes more quickly.

The changes are only one part of the 131-page legislation that would fund hurricane relief and advance other Republican legislative priorities. The bill was drafted behind closed doors, and it was introduced Tuesday morning as a substitute committee to replace a long-discarded dental practice law.

The bill was passed in just two days by both chambers, even though the House had three Republicans who opposed it on Tuesday. The bill will now be sent to the Democratic Governor after the Senate approved it on Wednesday. Roy Cooper has called the bill a “power grab.”

Karen Brinson Bell said that the State Board staff was not consulted on this important piece of legislation which transfers the authority of the State Board of Elections. It also makes significant administrative changes, which may make it difficult for county boards of election to ensure that every eligible ballot is counted. This could be especially true in elections with high turnout.

According to the Raleigh News & Observer, after Wednesday’s vote Senate Republican Phil Berger defended this bill by saying that it “all falls within the rules we have.”

Berger stated that “we’ve been expressing concerns about the Board of Elections under Roy Cooper for many years.” “We have repeatedly tried to convince people that there should be a balance in the board responsible for counting the votes and making election decisions. The Democrats said no, not at all, and hell no. “We just decided it was time to take action.”

North Carolina’s election board is currently divided 3-2 in favor Democrats.

This legislation would also prohibit the Attorney General, a position that Democrats won in the election this month, from adopting legal positions which are contrary to the legislative decisions. Jeff Jackson, the incoming state attorney general, would not be able to refuse to defend the laws passed by the Legislature, like Stein did last year with the new abortion law.

The new bill would also take away some of the power of the governor in filling judicial positions and create new Superior Court posts nominated by legislative leadership.

Republicans will lose their supermajority if a recount is conducted in a race for the state House, where the Democrat leads the GOP-held area. This means that they will be unable override Stein’s future vetoes without Democratic support.

Stein succeeds Cooper, who was repeatedly at odds with the Republican-led Legislature of the battleground State.

Stein wrote on X that “many people and many communities are in pain and need our assistance.” “But rather than stepping up, Republicans in the General Assembly grab power and exact political retribution.”
