Sen. Daniel Statement on Veto of Bipartisan Elections Boards Bill

Raleigh, N.C. — Sen. Warren Daniel (R-Burke) released the following statement in response to Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of Senate Bill 749, “No Partisan Advantage in Elections”:

“North Carolinians deserve to have the knowledge and confidence that their state and local boards of elections are operating in the best interest of the voters, not a particular political party. Single-party control has led to distrust and skepticism among voters. Voters should be asking themselves why Gov. Cooper is so desperate to maintain his partisan grip on the State Board of Elections. I look forward to once again overriding Gov. Cooper’s veto and establishing truly bipartisan boards of elections in North Carolina.”
