BREAKING NEWS! New North Carolina Elections State Board Director Sam Hayes replaces Karen Brinson Bell from NCSBE!

Congratulations Sam Hayes and North Carolina! KBB has ties to Progressive groups, has 'rewritten' election law with impunity, demonized poll observers to name just a few of her egregious acts.

The Raleigh News and Observer in their fine exercise of yellow journalism, (notice 'oust') paint her out to be a saint.

Newly Republican controlled NC elections board votes to oust its longtime director

In its first meeting Wednesday, the new Republican majority on the North Carolina State Board of Elections voted to replace the agency’s longtime director with a lawyer who worked for state Republican leaders. In a 3-2 vote, the board appointed Samuel Hayes as its executive director, ousting current director Karen Brinson Bell, who has served in the position since 2019.

Since 2021, Hayes has served as general counsel for the North Carolina speaker of the House, both under Tim Moore and Destin Hall. Hayes was not present at the meeting, and members of the board discussed his appointment in closed session, not commenting on his qualifications during the vote.

In a statement, State Auditor Dave Boliek, who appointed the board’s new Republican majority, said, “Sam has the experience and integrity to properly manage the State Board of Elections. He’s worked across state agencies, and as an accomplished attorney he brings a sharp legal mind to the table. With his background and dedication, I’m confident in his leadership capabilities to improve election management in North Carolina. This is a great hire.”
