North Carolina Republicans override Dem governor's vetoes of two election integrity bills

North Carolina Republicans in the state legislature overrode Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s vetoes on two election integrity bills, passing the bills into law.

On Tuesday, the Republican-controlled North Carolina state legislature overrode Cooper’s vetoes on Senate Bills 747 and 749, The Carolina Journal reported. The House overrode the vetoes of both bills 72-44 and the Senate followed suit, 30-19.

SB 747 requires absentee ballots to be received by Election Day and bans Zuckbucks — the injection of private money into public election administration. SB 749 splits the appointments of the state Board of Elections between the state legislature majority and minority party leaders. Previously, the governor would make the appointments on the recommendations of the two largest state parties and choose his own tie-breaker.

In August, when Cooper vetoed the bills, he claimed that Republicans were being racist with passing SB 747, saying, “If you are black or brown, Republicans really don’t want you to vote.”

Good for NC!

Another veto of the leftist ballot-fraud loving governor!

Of course, the left is suing, led by Marc Elias (also of course). And also of course, they say the laws are racist. But to object to such common-sense regulations when it comes to voting, is basically saying, "but that will make it harder for us to cheat! Not fair!".

Cooper sounds like a real peach.

Needs to be kicked to the curb.

He's in league with NARAL and the liberal hag abortion creepies. I really don't need to know anything more about him to form an opinion.

The favorite for the GOP nomination is Lt Gov Mark Robinson.

You might remember him from the night in 2018 when conservatives cheered him loudly as he stood up in a small town meeting and in an impromptu speech defended the Second Amendment rights of Americans.

Previously just an unknown hard-working man from the south, he gained the spotlight and went on to run for office and won the Lt Gov seat(imagine that?—a black man winning in the south? Where there is just a hot-bed of racism? /s)

Every time his name is mentioned, I go back and review the video.

He is Governor in name only.

Durham County cheated him in.

It is quite obvious to everybody.

Its incredibly racist for the dem gov to assume only blacks and browns, as he put it, vote absentee, as well as somehow not being able to get their ballots in by election day.

I wonder if they ever realize their massive racism is showing.

No they did not.

Overwhelming congress to GOP and Trump carried 2020.

Durham County “carried” Cooper.

They have absolutely no idea. They are just following the cow in front and obey the prodding from behind.

To democrats laws don’t matter. They just ignore them and continue on their merry way. Why can’t our side understand that?!?

Because that means acknowledging that “The Constitution” is not going to save them, so the BoomerCons are not ready for that level of truth.

“If you are black or brown, Republicans really don’t want you to vote.”

What an ignorant thing to proclaim.

If you are not a citizen you can’t vote.

That’s the Conservative position.

Conservatives don’t discriminate because of race.

“Durham County cheated him in.”

With the help of Charlotte area RINOs who were miffed at Pat McCrory for allowing optional toll roads to be built in the Charlotte area.

EXCELLENT!!!!!

They stuffed two more right down Cooper’s throat. He’s being fed a steady diet of veto overrides. I love it! Feed him some more. School Choice, Election Integrity, Constitutional Carry....stuff all of it down Cooper’s throat.
