North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper recently vetoed a GOP-authored elections bill, arguing that it could disenfranchise peopl
By Amy Sherman • August 9, 2023
The bill calls on the state elections board to track how the signature-verification software is used, how many ballot signatures it flags, and how efficiently it detects fraudulent signatures.Section 48 on page 42 of the bill specifically says:"In implementing the pilot program established in this section, no executed mail-in absentee ballot shall be rejected by the county board of elections for failing any signature verification.
The bill would require state election officials to report their findings to legislators by May 1. It also instructs them to provide legislators with ideas for developing a statewide program and an estimate of how much a statewide program might cost. Randy Brechbiel, a spokesman for Republican Senate Leader Phil Berger, said Cooper’s team either misread the bill or is spinning the facts:"Gov. Cooper should correct his false statement to clear up any confusion his veto caused North Carolinians."Cooper said a GOP-authored elections bill"requires valid votes to be tossed out … if a computer rejects a signature."
