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.

SUMMARY: North Carolina ranks 12th in the Tax Foundation’s newly named State Tax Competitiveness Index, down from 11th last year due to reforms in other states. The foundation praised the state for lowering its individual flat-rate income tax from 4.75% to 4.5%, while noting its high rankings for corporate taxes (3rd) and unemployment insurance (7th). The report emphasizes that effective tax codes contribute to economic success, contrasting them with states like New Jersey, which struggles with high taxes. Wyoming and South Dakota lead the rankings, while Arkansas and Georgia have improved their positions through tax reforms.

SUMMARY: I chose to vote early to avoid long lines and ensure my civic duty was fulfilled without issues. Voting early is easier and less crowded, making it a more enjoyable experience. I wanted to prevent any traffic delays and had the time to complete the process comfortably. Making sure my voice was heard was important to me, and voting early guaranteed my vote would count. Ultimately, the convenience of early voting motivated my decision, as I wanted to streamline the process without the hassle of waiting on Election Day, even opting to vote during my lunch break.

As of Friday, November 1, 43.2% of registered voters have cast their ballots in the 2024 Presidential Election in North Carolina. Early voting ends on Saturday, November 2.
