NC-GOV: Dan Forest asks Trump administration to investigate NC Democrats over mail-in voting
President Donald Trump’s administration should launch an investigation into a proposed change in North Carolina’s vote-by-mail rules, N.C. Lt. Gov. Dan Forest said Thursday.
Forest, a Republican like Trump, wrote a letter to U.S. Attorney General William Barr asking him to look into potential changes the N.C. State Board of Elections voted on earlier this week, to settle a lawsuit against the state.
“As you may be aware, liberal groups from Washington, D.C., have swarmed into North Carolina to file lawsuit after lawsuit against North Carolina, seeking to change, by judicial and executive fiat, laws that were constitutionally passed by our General Assembly,” Forest wrote to Barr.
Barr, a close Trump ally, has frequently been accused of politicizing the U.S. Department of Justice to help Trump’s re-election chances. Forest’s letter makes similar accusations, but against Democrats in North Carolina.
He said N.C. Attorney General Josh Stein, who is a Democrat, worked with the Democrat-led elections board and the liberal-leaning challengers in the lawsuit “to enact, without the consent of the legislature, wholesale changes to the absentee ballot laws of North Carolina.”
