midterms

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.

Behind in the vote totals, North Carolina Senate leader Phil Berger files four election protests, CMS doesn’t plan to use makeup days for this year’s weather events so far, and Queens University prepares to take on Purdue in the NCAA Tournament.

Early voting for the March primaries is underway. We discuss some key races to watch for, how certain races could shift power in North Carolina and what to keep in mind as you head to the polls.

For the first time, North Carolina has more registered Republicans than Democrats. The meat continues to be in the middle with unaffiliated voters — the largest group of voters.
