NC House committee okays a sweeping election bill, but its sponsor says it needs more work. [View all]
A North Carolina House committee advanced an elections bill that would change a range of election laws, with some Democrats objecting to provisions expanding the window for challenging voters, granting the state Auditor new powers, and allowing the state elections board to shroud its legal hiring in secrecy.
The bill was set to speed through the House committee process Tuesday, but hit a speed bump as dozens of protesters filled legislative halls and committee rooms.
But House Speaker Destin Hall (R-Caldwell) told reporters that the House will vote on the bill Wednesday.
What happens after it gets to the state Senate remains in question.
