The North Carolina legislature convened at noon on August 3 to consider whether to override certain gubernatorial vetoes. The session is only one day long. It had been thought that the legislature would take up the ballot access bill, SB 656, on August 3, but now the bill has been postponed to the September session. The legislature wants to concentrate on redistricting, because it is under a court order to either pass new legislative districts by September 1, or at least to take certain steps by then.
