Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper and Gov.-elect Josh Stein have filed another lawsuit against a GOP-inspired law that strips away powers from several incoming Democratic state leaders.

North Carolina Democrats called a GOP-backed law shifting election board control to a Republican auditor unconstitutional in a lawsuit to block it.

After struggling at the ballot box, North Carolina Republicans could've honored the will of the state's voters. They instead launched a brazen power grab.

Stein and Cooper argue that Republicans’ changes violate the separation of powers established in the North Carolina Constitution.

With 292 ballots in question and the difference of votes counted 734, the North Carolina State Board of Elections on Friday voted to dismiss remaining protests by Republican Jefferson Griffin in his race against Democrat Allison Riggs.
