The Rockingham County Board of Elections voted three to two Wednesday to keep conservative activist Joseph Gibson III on the primary ballot running for a North Carolina State House seat. This comes after his candidacy was challenged by the county Republican Party chair, alleging that he wasn’t able to run for office due to past felony charges in another state.
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed a sweeping Republican elections bill Thursday that would end a grace period for voting by mail and make new allowances for partisan poll observers.
