NC election bills unlikely to become laws after Senate votes

NC election bills unlikely to become laws after Senate votes by Gary D. Robertson, The Associated Press Posted Jun 16, 2021 7:56 pm EDT Last Updated Jun 16, 2021 at 7:58 pm EDT RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) North Carolina Senate Republicans pushed a trio of election measures through their chamber on Wednesday, including one that would prohibit counting mail-in absentee ballots that aren’t received by local officials by Election Day. But unlike other GOP-led legislatures in battleground states that have passed voting restrictions this year, North Carolina has a Democratic governor who could veto the measures, leaving Republicans powerless to override Gov. Roy Cooper if Democrats continue to stay united in opposition. The measures passed the Senate on a party-line vote and now go to the House, where Republicans also have been weighing absentee changes.

N Carolina rights groups say GOP bills impede voting access

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) â Civil and voting rights groups Monday blasted election bills written by North Carolina Republicans and expected on the Senate floor this week, calling them another GOP attempt at voter suppression, especially of minority groups. Senate GOP leaders are advancing three measures, one of which would require mail-in absentee ballots be received by mail or handed in by 5 p.m. on the date of the election in order to count. Current law gives a three-day grace period for envelopes postmarked by the primary or general election date. A legal settlement extended the time to nine days in the 2020 election.
