North Carolina GOP lawmakers enact a law eroding the Democratic governor's powers (www.npr.org)

North Carolina lawmakers on Wednesday enacted a law over the governor's veto that would diminish the powers afforded to his successor and other other Democratic statewide winners in the Nov. 5 elections.

In a 72-46 vote, the Republican-dominated House overrode Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper's veto a week after the GOP-controlled Senate voted to do the same.

Like during the Senate vote, opponents to the power-shifting bill sat in the gallery and disrupted the chambers' floor proceedings. More than 150 people gathered on the third floor — more than the House gallery could seat. They chanted "shame" as the override vote completed and continued to yell as they were escorted out.

Another case of them cheating legally (like the 2024 election), crazy Nazi and undemocratic. We're watching our country being eroded.

I don't think we should have the GOP anymore.
