Framed as hurricane relief, the bill conceals a deeper agenda—shifting executive authority away from the governor and attorney general to consolidate power within the legislature. This move, lacking public input or debate, undermines democratic checks and balances. Critics warn of its far-reaching implications, from diminishing free and fair elections to eroding voter trust in state governance. This moment represents more than a political clash; it’s a tipping point for the future of democracy in North Carolina. The stakes couldn't be higher.
