Neighbors on Call’s NC Policy Update for 11/29/22

Governance

On Friday, November 18, local elections boards certified two close NC House races, confirming that Republicans will hold 71 of 120 seats in the NC House – exactly one short of a supermajority. Democrat Diamond Staton-Williams won by 629 votes (2.28%) in House District 73 in Cabarrus County, while Republican Timothy Reeder beat Brian Farkas, the Democratic incumbent for House District 9 in Pitt County, by only 354 votes (1.18%).

Voting Rights

After months of delay, the NC Court of Appeals followed NC Supreme Court instructions to send back the case governing the voter ID constitutional amendment to the Wake County Superior Court in order to answer some questions about the case. The Court of Appeals finally moved on sending the case to the trial court after lawyers for the NAACP petitioned the NC Supreme Court to ask the Court of Appeals to take action.
