North Carolina governor vetoes sweeping voting restrictions

North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein (D) on Monday killed a sweeping GOP elections bill that would have shortened early voting, extended the time period to challenge votes and expanded voter roll maintenance.

“Legislators are trying to make it harder for you to vote, and for your vote to count, because they know they have not delivered for you,” Stein said. “But we are here today because we can stop this anti-voter law.”
