A North Carolina judge has temporarily blocked a Republican-backed law that strips the incoming Democratic governor of his control over election boards just before he takes office.
Wake County superior court judge Don Stephens ruled on Friday that the risk to free and fair elections justified stopping the law from taking effect this weekend until it could be reviewed more closely. Stephens plans to review the law on Thursday.
Governor-elect Roy Cooper sued on Friday to block the law, passed two weeks ago, which would end the control governors exert over statewide and county election boards.
Coopers lawsuit said the Republican-led state general assemblys action was unconstitutional because it violated separation of powers by giving legislators too much control over how election laws are administered.
