N.C. Supreme Court declines to hear Roy Cooper vs. Republican leaders cases, leaving them with state Court of Appeals.
North Carolina's Supreme Court has opted not to take up two cases pitting Governor Roy Cooper against Republican leaders, keeping them with the state Court of Appeals. Justice Phil Berger Jr., whose Republican father is involved in the cases, will not be recused. The cases involve disputes over election boards and the governor's power over state and local boards and commissions. Critics argue the court's decision could impact the separation of powers in the state's constitution.
