NC governors challenge new law shifting election control, citing constitutional concerns.

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper and Governor-elect Josh Stein have filed a lawsuit challenging a new law that shifts control of state elections from the governor to the state auditor, arguing it violates the state constitution. The law, passed after veto by Cooper, also restructures the State Highway Patrol, reducing powers of incoming Democratic officials. The lawsuit claims the changes undermine the separation of powers and represent a partisan move by the GOP legislature.
