Senate President Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) said that the Gov. Roy Cooper administration is "getting crazier and crazier," responding to a plan to prevent policing at polling locations.
Berger made his latest attack against the Democratic governor in an Oct. 13 Facebook post.
"They've now issued a 'memorandum' that BANS police officers from going anywhere near polling sites," Berger said in the post.
Though the memorandum prevents police from serving in a security role at the polling sites, it doesn't prevent officers from voting in-person at their respective districts.
The memorandum also forbids law enforcement from wearing their uniforms if they're directing traffic or enforcement the parking laws near polling sites, Berger said in his post.
"Gov. Cooper and the Democratic Party that controls the Board of Elections is refusing to require voter ID; has banned police officers from going near polling sites; wants ballots found in unsupervised outdoor drop boxes to count; and secretly 'settled' a lawsuit with other Democrats to make absentee ballot fraud easier," Berger said in his post.
