NORTH CAROLINA -- A new lawsuit is set to be heard about the state's proposed constitutional amendments.

  • Gov. Roy Cooper believes two rewritten amendments are still deceptive and misleading
  • The state is just days away from missing a deadline over to get absentee ballots printed 45 days before elections
  • The latest lawsuit is set to be heard by a three-judge panel in Wake County on Friday morning

Gov. Roy Cooper says even though lawmakers rewrote two amendments in a special session earlier this week, he believes they are still deceptive and misleading.

With the ongoing legal wrangling, the state is now just days away from missing a deadline over to get absentee ballots printed 45 days before elections.

Political observers say if the election has to be postponed, it raises questions about who is at an advantage or disadvantage.

“Here we have, at least in democrats’ minds, the set up for a blue wave election in which democrats would do well,” said David McLennan of Meredith College. “If the election is not on Nov. 6, does that affect democrats’ chances of doing as well as they could?”

The latest lawsuit is set to be heard by a three-judge panel in Wake County on Friday morning.
