House set to vote on sweeping election bill despite opposition to overseas voter restrictions
The North Carolina House of Representatives is set to vote on House Bill 958, a controversial election reform bill that passed the House Rules Committee with Republican support but faced opposition over restrictions on overseas voters. The bill includes provisions requiring voter identification for military and overseas voters and allows post-election challenges to early votes, though some contentious elements like a ban on ranked-choice voting were removed.
