Jason Snead, Executive Director of Honest Elections Project Action, released the following statement:
“Honest Elections Project Action applauds the North Carolina state legislature for overriding Governor Cooper’s veto on legislation that reforms the state board of elections to promote bipartisan election administration. Decisions surrounding elections should be commonsense, bipartisan, and promote the rule of law, which is exactly what this legislation aims to do. State legislatures are the institutions that are constitutionally empowered to write election laws, which makes them the proper institution to serve as the tiebreaker. Congratulations to the North Carolina state legislature for successfully passing legislation to improve voter confidence and election integrity.”
