A Wake County judge ruled Thursday in favor of the Republican National Committee (RNC) against the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) and its unlawful restrictions on partisan poll watchers.
Back in September, the RNC and the North Carolina GOP sued the NCBOE for its illegal regulations restricting party observers. Such restrictions prevent the GOP from replacing “at-large” election observers at any time, requiring observers to serve at least four hours at a polling location before a new volunteer could take their place.
Attorneys for the RNC said such a regulation was “unfair” since it would stop them from replacing observers
