House set to vote on sweeping election bill despite opposition to overseas voter restrictions

The North Carolina House of Representatives is expected to vote on a hotly contested election reform bill next week after it passed the powerful House Rules Committee on Wednesday.

House Bill 958 passed the committee by a margin of 14-9, becoming one of the rare bills to not receive the support of all Republicans on the panel. That’s in part due to backlash over provisions that would require voter identification from military and overseas voters, among other restrictions.

The bill did not arrive on the House floor Wednesday as lawmakers took up a slew of veto overrides instead. Speaker Destin Hall (R-Caldwell) told members of the media he expects a vote next week, though there may be additional changes coming to the bill.

“I think you’ll see the House pass one out next week,” Hall said. “As always, we’re talking to our Senate counterparts about the ideas they have for an elections bill, and so especially on something like that, we try to at least have a general understanding.”

Either act now or live with this forever.

Because there ain't no 'midterms' that are going to stop this.

They rigged the whole thing. Yet, the population still wants to think that the same rigged system will liberate them.
