(The Center Square) – Fresh off a state Supreme Court race getting settled half a year after the election, the North Carolina State Board of Elections has been sued by the United States of America.

The Department of Justice filed the litigation on Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina Western Division. The plaintiffs say the state was in violation of the intent of the Help America Vote Act, colloquially called HAVA.
