Parties monitor early voting data in battleground NC ahead of last weekend before Election Day
SUMMARY: North Carolina is experiencing record voter turnout, with over 50% of registered voters having participated ahead of the election. This turnout is significant, considering the 2020 turnout was 75%. Voter demographics show an even split among registered Republicans, Democrats, and unaffiliated voters, though Black voter turnout is slightly lagging. Women are significantly outvoting men. Republicans believe their early voting strategy is yielding results, while Democrats are concerned about their declining vote totals compared to four years ago. The campaigns are intensifying efforts to increase turnout, with upcoming rallies from both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
More than half of North Carolina’s registered voters have already made their decisions at the ballot box.

Poll: Robinson did not hurt other candidates | North Carolina
SUMMARY: A recent poll indicates that nearly half of respondents believe Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson’s issues did not affect their voting choices. Robinson lost the gubernatorial race to Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein, with his campaign suffering from a CNN report linking him to a past porn chat room. Despite this, 50.1% of voters now feel America is on the right track, an increase from previous months. Stein holds a 53.2% approval rating, and other elections resulted in a split of statewide positions between Democrats and Republicans. The poll included 615 responses with a margin of error of +/- 3.94%.

Helene: Assistance of $227M overshadowed by authority changes | North Carolina
SUMMARY: The North Carolina General Assembly has passed legislation providing $227 million in fiscal recovery aid for Hurricane Helene, totaling $1.1 billion in assistance for various disaster relief efforts. The bill also includes significant changes to authority for state leaders, such as placing the State Board of Elections under the State Auditor’s office and restricting the attorney general’s ability to challenge the General Assembly. Critics, predominantly Democrats, argue these modifications serve Republican interests and compromise election integrity. The legislation reflects ongoing political tensions, exacerbated by recent court challenges and contentious executive actions during COVID-19.

The agency also owes $37 million for finished projects. Gibson requested trust from lawmakers as relief funds are distributed, and the request for Hurricane Helene assistance has grown significantly, with an $80 million lifeline provided so far.
