NORTH CAROLINA -- Less than a month after the short session ended, one lawmaker is recommending a special session.

In a letter from House Rules Chairman Rep. David Lewis of Harnett County addressed to House Speaker Tim Moore and his Republican colleagues, Rep. Lewis expressed his concern over the language that could be used on amendments expected to show up on the November ballots.

Right now, a three-person commission, which includes Democrats Secretary of State Elaine Marshall, and Attorney Gen. Josh Stein, as well as legislative services Republican Paul Coble, are in charge of creating the caption language for those amendments.

Rep. Lewis expressed his concerns about the commission's work, and the "maneuverings" by interested outside groups.

He also states the commission could write the captions using long sentences or negative language that would hurt the chances of them passing.

The state Board of Elections has to get the captions by the week of Aug. 6, which is just a little more than two weeks away.

The commission is set to meet on July 31.

Also according to Lewis, they’re considering meeting up until Aug. 7, one of the last days to act.

Lewis says this leaves little time for the general assembly or the courts to interfere.

In response, Gov. Roy Cooper’s communications director Sadie Weiner says, “Legislative Republicans, who work in secret, are looking for new ways to shut the public out, not content to fix the game…They’re rewriting the rules to favor deception and secrecy over public input and transparency.”
