NC's Governor and Governor-elect sue over law shifting elections board control, citing separation of powers.

North Carolina's Governor Roy Cooper and Governor-elect Josh Stein have filed a lawsuit against a Republican law that shifts the power to appoint state elections board members from the governor to the state auditor. They argue the law violates the separation of powers and undermines election integrity. This is their second lawsuit against the law, which also removes the governor's power to choose the State Highway Patrol commander.
