NC Republicans avoid 'Kraken' tactics but seek new inspection of 2020 voting machines

Jul. 16—North Carolina Republican politicians hoping to conduct their own audit of the 2020 elections don't want to resort to legal action to try to force the State Board of Elections to let them have their way, they said Thursday.
The lawmakers could try to force their will on elections officials by issuing subpoenas, for instance. But Rep. Keith Kidwell, a Beaufort County Republican who leads the far-right Freedom Caucus in the N.C. House of Representatives, said he'd rather not.
