A panel of Superior Court judges on Tuesday blocked two North Carolina constitutional amendments from statewide ballots.
The order from a three-judge panel said ballots should not be printed that ask voters to make changes in the state constitution on how state boards and commission members are appointed and how judges are selected to fill vacancies. The order said those ballot questions did not fully inform voters of the changes that would result if the measures passed.
The court order gives Gov. Roy Cooper a victory, at least temporarily, in his lawsuit against legislative leaders.
