North Carolinians to see a voter ID constitutional amendment on the 2026 ballot

^{Published on 2024-12-11 22:21:20 - Charlotte Observer}

As the year wraps up, taking with it the GOP's legislative supermajority, Republican lawmakers in the North Carolina House passed a bill Wednesday to revise the state constitution's language regarding voter identification.

The article from The Charlotte Observer discusses the ongoing debate over the expansion of Medicaid in North Carolina, which has been a contentious issue for years. Despite a bipartisan agreement reached in March between the Republican-led General Assembly and Democratic Governor Roy Cooper, the expansion has not yet been implemented. The delay stems from disagreements on how to fund the state's share of Medicaid costs, with some legislators pushing for a new tax on hospitals. This tax would help cover the state's portion of the costs, but it has met resistance from some quarters. The article highlights the frustration among advocates and some lawmakers, as the expansion could provide health insurance to hundreds of thousands of low-income adults. Meanwhile, Governor Cooper has been actively campaigning for the expansion, emphasizing its potential to save lives and improve health outcomes. However, the legislative session has been marked by delays, with key decisions being postponed, leaving the future of Medicaid expansion in North Carolina uncertain.
