Early voting is underway and people are lining up to cast their ballots in the midterms. Election officials have been fighting a barrage of mis- and disinformation, but despite their efforts, the attacks continue, and some voters are concerned. A closer look at the integrity of our elections.

Charlotte City Council hears from the public about a proposal to extend the ban on new data centers, six CMPD Officers are at risk of being fired in the wake of racist text messages, and weeks after CMS Superintendent Crystal Hill is fired, parents and others have the chance to sound off to the school board about that decision. Those stories and more with our roundtable of reporters.

Flashback to 2024. Republicans hammered Democrats on affordability. Now, it’s the Democrats’ turn. Two years ago, Democrats pushed social issues like abortion rights and democracy and lost. This year, Republicans are on the defensive about the cost of living and are talking about crime and transgender athletes. It’s a flip-flop of strategies by both parties, and the question is: Will it work the same way?

The FBI launches an investigation into CMS. The county might wait on the outcome of the several probes being conducted before it asks its own questions. But the county is asking questions about why Discovery Place can’t repay a $14 million loan. The General Assembly is set to consider suspending the gasoline tax, and PTL’s Jim Bakker dies. Those stories and more with our roundtable of reporters.

A conversation with Seth Harp, author of "The Fort Bragg Cartel," about his book. It covers drug trafficking, murder, and a cover up involving members of the U.S. military.

For Susanne Dillingham, food is more than sustenance. It has opened a world of opportunities for her as a personal chef, sommelier and business owner. Food has taken her around the world as she learned more about it and the importance of hospitality. Now, she runs The Tiny Chef from her small farm in Gold Hill. She shares her experiences in the food world and in her book, “Secret Ingredients of Life.”

The fallout over the firing of CMS Superintendent Crystal Hill continues with dissension on the board and another CMS executive staff resignation; Charlotte City Council passes a new 10 p.m. curfew for teens under 18; Mooresville Mayor Chris Carney is out, and, with Election Day a month away, U.S. Senate races in both Carolinas are in the spotlight.

It's not just candidates on the ballot for North Carolinians this midterm election. Voters will also decide on three constitutional amendments. They affect state income taxes, property taxes, and voter ID. We break down why these issues are on the ballot and what you need to know as you make a decision.

A week of ins and outs. The Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization reverses their initial rejection of NCDOT’s I-77 toll lanes so, they’re in. CMS Superintendent Crystal Hill, though, is out. The school board fired her and Stephanie Sneed stepped down as chair with some board members saying the board is broken. Those stories and more with our roundtable of reporters.

In a vote on Tuesday, the CMS School Board fires Superintendent Crystal Hill. Then, the fate of the I-77 toll lanes: After public opposition, the project was voted down. But the state passed a law requiring local governments to repay millions to the N.C. Department of Transportation if that vote stands. That has some municipalities rethinking their decisions. We hear from leaders in the region about what comes next, and about how Charlotte reached its decision.
