NCGOP Statement on S749 Decision

Following the three-judge panel ruling in the matter of S749, please see the following statement from NCGOP Communications Director Matt Mercer.

"It is simply unbelievable that making boards of elections bipartisan and putting both parties on equal footing is wrong."

"Republicans in the legislature are within their rights to enact laws making administration of elections - the bedrock of our system of government - operate with more input from each parties’ leaders, not beholden to one man."

"We encourage our state legislative leaders to appeal this bad decision to the Supreme Court to make our election administration fair and free of partisan decision-making."
