Republican Group Sues N.C. Election Board
 A national Republican group sued the Democratic controlled State Board of Elections today seeking to get its television ads on the air before Election Day.As the election battles heat up The Republican Governors Association alleges the elections board is treating it differently from a similar Democratic group that was allowed to run advertisements for the governor's race. R-G-A leaders say they can't get a fair shake because all three Democrats on the five-member board have donated to Democratic Governor Mike Easley's campaign. The three Democrats voted last month to fine the R-G-A nearly 200 thousand dollars for airing an advertisement supporting Republican gubernatorial candidate Patrick Ballantine.
