On the late evening of Wednesday, June 28, the North Carolina House passed SB 656, the ballot access bill. The vote was 107-7. All seven of the “no” votes were cast by Republicans. No one spoke against the bill on the floor. The bill will probably get a vote in the Senate on Thursday, June 29. Thanks to Kevin Hayes for the news.
I presume this is the result of legislators with enough common sense to avert getting the pants sued off of their state.
