Raleigh, NC — North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Robin Hayes has released the following statement:
“The North Carolina Republican Party takes their obligations under the law and State Constitution seriously. Our unwillingness to participate in the creation of an unlawful ‘interim’ State Board of Elections results from a desire to ensure that any future investigation surrounding the Ninth Congressional District election is open, fair, and transparent, and not tainted by actions taken by an illegal board. The unlawful suggestion by the Governor only served to further erode public confidence in our election system. Governor Cooper earns no gold stars for being embarrassed into following the letter of the law.”
