NC Superior Court panel hears arguments in election board case
North Carolina Superior Court panel of judges heard arguments Monday over whether elections board appointments would shift from Gov. Josh Stein to State Auditor Dave Boliek on May 1 as outlined in Senate Bill 382, which became law in December.
The lawsuit is now known as Stein v. Hall or Stein v. Berger, although former Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed the bill in December, which the General Assembly overrode.
The governor is seeking a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to block Boliek’s appointments. Stein is a Democrat. Legislative leaders who also oppose Stein’s restraining order and injunctions, as well as Boliek, are Republicans.
Superior Court Judges Edwin Wilson, a Democrat, Lori Hamilton, and Andrew Womble, both Republicans, have been overseeing the lawsuit since Cooper first challenged proposed election administration changes in October 2023.
