## Resource

North Carolina Republicans unveiled a sweeping elections bill packed with controversial changes—tighter overseas voter rules, a ban on election officials encouraging turnout, and handing the state auditor unprecedented power to oversee elections in counties he selects. Voting rights groups are sounding the alarm, calling it confusing and discriminatory, especially for marginalized communities and students. They’re mobilizing with multilingual hotlines and trained poll watchers to ensure access. Meanwhile, Democrats are pushing forward with marijuana constitutional amendments, as the state’s political landscape continues to churn with high-stakes developments.
