North Carolina's governor just killed a bill that would cross-check voter rolls against death records, and Republicans say they have the votes to override him.
The North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) announced earlier this week that it has discovered about 34,000 deceased individuals listed on the state's voter rolls.
A federal judge appointed by President Barack Obama who once blocked North Carolina's voter identification law reversed course Thursday and ruled it constitutional, handing Republicans a major win in their seven-year battle to secure the state's elections.
