RALEIGH, N.C. — The state's new Democratically controlled Board of Elections will move to oust its longtime executive director, a Republican appointee, next week.

Kim Strach, originally appointed by Republican Gov. Pat McCrory in 2013, has technically been on borrowed time since the new board formed in January. Soon after the board's first meeting, state law gave members the authority to reappoint Strach or appoint a new director to a new two-year term expiring in May 2021.

That new legislation was the result of a protracted court battle between Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper and Republican leaders in the state legislature, as they sought control over appointments to the state elections board. Democrats now outnumber Republicans on the board 3-2.

It's not yet clear whether the new executive director will replace Strach immediately or after some period of transition.

2. This Appointed Person May Not Be Intelligent

Republicans historically lack the intelligence to be of use regarding improving education. The GOP has hopes of decreasing education standards so they can dumb down "their" society. This makes it easier for the GOP to handle the "herd" they call GOP voters. Those who have cognizance become DEMOCRATS which means "thinkers" which the GOP do not like.
