SUMMARY: Today is expected to be one of the busiest travel days as millions head out for Thanksgiving. According to AAA, a record 71.7 million people will travel by car, an increase of 1.3 million from last year. While traffic has been smooth on I-40 eastbound in Raleigh, heavy congestion is anticipated between 1 and 5 PM. Gas prices in North Carolina average $2.87, about 17 cents cheaper than last year. Travelers are advised to leave early and consider traveling tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day, when minimal traffic is expected. Safety and early departures are encouraged for a smoother journey.

If you’re are heading out in the afternoon traffic could be a problem.

SUMMARY: Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs opposed Appeals Court Judge Jefferson Griffin’s request for a preliminary injunction in his election case. Riggs, leading by 734 votes, argues that swift resolution serves public interest and that she remains in her position until the election results are certified. Griffin seeks to discard over 60,000 votes, claiming many voters are ineligible due to insufficient ID details. The State Board of Elections has rejected his challenges, which have not yet been certified. A bipartisan group of former congressmen supports keeping the case in federal court, emphasizing that federal law, specifically the Help America Vote Act, is central to the issues raised.
