If you find yourself wondering what the hell is going on with battleground North Carolina’s upcoming elections...well, you’re in good company. Because as of today no one else knows, either — from SCOTUS, through the state legislature, to candidates, to the Board of Elections, right down to (most especially) the individual voter in the street.
Not entirely clear who’s running for which offices, or against whom, or in which districts, or where those districts are, or who’s up for re-election to the state Supreme Court, or how run-offs will be handled, or whether/how absentee ballots will be counted, or whether voter ID will be required or not, and we maybe don’t even know for sure the actual date(s) on which election(s) might actually be held.
Fasten your seat belts, Carolinians; we’re heading into some turbulence. And grab a bag of popcorn (which can also come in handy as an air sickness bag in case of need).
Hanging chads? Pffft. We’ve got an entire hanging election coming up.
