With early voting already underway and Election Day approaching in less than two weeks, North Carolina Governor Josh Stein has escalated his legal battle over election board control to the state's highest court, CBS17 reported.

Governor Stein filed a petition on Wednesday asking the North Carolina Supreme Court to overturn a September ruling that upheld a law transferring power over election boards from the governor to the state auditor, according to WNCN.

This move comes amid ongoing disputes about election administration authority in North Carolina, highlighting tensions between the governor's office and the state auditor's office.

The Supreme Court's decision will determine who holds control over the state's election boards as voters prepare to cast their ballots in the upcoming election.
