23:49Now PlayingNorth Carolina's Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper and voting rights groups are pushing back against two measures passed by the GOP-controlled General Assembly.
Cooper filed a lawsuit over a measure that eliminates his authority to pick election board members, while voting rights groups filed another lawsuit challenging the law's provisions that discourage young people from voting.
Cooper said the board changes, which would take effect January 1, do not align with the state constitution and state Supreme Court rulings in the 2010s that give the governor control over executive agencies to carry out laws. State voters also rejected a 2018 referendum giving lawmakers more say over the elections board's composition.
The Republican-controlled General Assembly overrode Cooper's vetoes on both bills last week. Republicans say the elections board law will create bipartisan consensus on election administration, but Cooper calls it a power grab by the GOP.
