HB 958 Election Bill Pulled
from Durham News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
A major election law bill, HB 958, was unexpectedly pulled from committee this week—sparking cheers from opponents who’ve fought it for over a year. The bill would have restricted election officials’ ability to encourage voting, added political appointees to the State Board of Elections, expanded the state auditor’s power, eliminated ranked-choice voting, and weakened campaign finance rules. Supporters claimed it was needed to safeguard election integrity, while critics called it flawed from the start and suspect the timing of its removal may be a political tactic. With lawmakers still considering potential revisions, election officials reaffirmed their commitment to fair, transparent elections under current laws. The debate remains heated as both sides await the next move in this high-stakes battle over voting rights and election oversight.
