S725 bans North Carolina election boards and officials in counties from accepting private money to run elections (Zuckerbucks).
The North Carolina State House of Representatives passed S725 on November 18, 2021 by a vote of 63 to 48. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because strengthening our election laws are crucial in the preservation of our election process and election integrity. Article IV, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution provides that “citizens” of the United States “shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities,” such as the “right of citizens of the United States” to vote as prescribed in the 26th Amendment. Tightening election laws preserve the integrity of the election process and keeping outside money out of elections will prevent outside influence of elections.
