The move comes after Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper and interest groups sued to block some of the questions. Attorneys are expected in a Wake County courtroom Tuesday. Cooper, the state NAACP and Clean Air Carolina have requested the removal of referendums they say contain false and misleading questions written by the Republican-controlled General Assembly.
Cooper wants two of the six amendments removed. The other groups want four removed. Legislative leaders believe all six should be voted on.
