As we approach statewide canvass on March 25, Wake County has completed its post-election process, certifying results at the March 13 canvass. With no recount or protest filed and deadlines now passed, results from the March 3 Primary are official. 📊 ow.ly/Qofk50Yx2Jj

@alldandi @bluearrowMaps A state constitutional amendment in 1952 eliminated a requirement that vacancies in the General Assembly be filled only by special election. Since 1953 vacancies have been filled by party committee in the district

@bluearrowMaps Does NC do special elections?

With the passing of Rep. Clampitt (R), NC HD 119 is likely to be more competitive this fall. While Trump carried it by 12.75 points in 2024, its fairly bluer downballot, especially the Jackson County portion of the seat #ElectionTwitter

@EvaLee4NC @NCSBE @WakeElections @wakedems noon on Friday of Election week, see Part 3 of SB 382 of 2023 Session ncleg.gov/enactedlegisla…

@NCSBE @WakeElections @wakedems What is the deadline (regulation/law) for curing mail in ballots and for curing provisional ballots. It doesn't show on the page. Also unlisted on Wake timeline for the election. These are critical deadlines @gercohen ncsbe.gov/voting/provisi…

clearly this jinxed the end of the game

EPIC Carolina collapse was one for the ages.

@hepstyle @RaleighReporter with High Point’s upset first round win today I’m doubling my bet to $2 that they beat Dook in the final, pretty sure I can clear $2 million

@gercohen @RaleighReporter Duke's gotta get out of the first round

I get that politicians love to post brackets to show they're Real People Who Watch Sports, but it seems like they can either shaft the local teams (and get roasted for it) or make an unrealistic bracket where Duke plays High Point in the final (and get roasted for it) #ncpol

@SmokyMtnNews @kyle_perrotti From 2013-2014 Mike Clampitt was an assistant House sergeant-at-arms at the #ncga when I was Special Counsel, Mike’s office was across the hall from mine and we chatted a bit every day. A great guy

Here's more on the passing of WNC Rep. Mike Clampitt from our @kyle_perrotti, including the future of his 119th District House seat. #ncpol smokymountainnews.com/news/item/4106…

No one loved serving in the #ncpol General Assembly more than Mike Clampitt. He was a kind man who did the best he could for his district and his constituents. May he rest in peace.

5-1 @canes loss tonight to the Blue Jackets was IMHO their worst game of the season. No energy, no one in front of the net on offense, sloppy defense, too many penalties.

Wake County candidate filing for Nov 3 nonpartisan plurality election : Wake County Board of Education (4 district seats) July 6-17; Wake Co Soil and Water Conservation District (2 at-large seats) June 8-July 6 #wakepol #ncpol

The #ncpol primary results are in, let's not forget about the election administrators who made it possible — even in the middle of a hurricane. 📖 🔗 ⬇️ + ad spending in the #ncsen race & a few other odds & ends. open.substack.com/pub/chriscoope…

1/4 At Vote Tracker, 715,845 absentee and early ballots have been accepted in the March 3 primary. That is a decrease from 715,877 yesterday morning? How could the number of accepted ballots go down? #ncpol

2/4 All 100 county boards of elections held canvases yesterday. They accepted some military and overseas ballots, but also retrieved previously accepted absentee and early ballots for various reasons.

@NHLPR @NHLBruins @Capitals @CanadiensNHL the Eastern Conference leading Carolina Hurricanes have ZERO ABC or even regular ESPN games this season. In fact the last broadcast network scheduled game for the Canes was 2007. Boston/Suffolk Co population 700,000, Wake Co NC 1.2 million. Ridiculous.

The @NHLBruins and @Capitals clash on ABC Hockey Saturday with crucial points in the Eastern Conference playoff race on the line while Hockey Night in Canada highlights three Canadian teams including the @CanadiensNHL as they look to create some distance in the Atlantic Division.

@WinWithJMC with county canvasses yesterday across all 100 NC counties, new registrations held in a queue since Feb 7 primary registration deadline will all be processed this week !

This is a case of new/same day registrations not yet being posted while the March 3 primary was occurring (@gercohen explains it much more succintly as a Tarheel native). (2/2)

NORTH CAROLINA INTERIM VOTER REGISTRATION CHANGES (3/7-13) The GOP plurality narrowed (again) from 8,648 to 8,595 this past week (Reps/Inds lost 358 apiece /Dems lost 305), although Inds remain a (growing) plurality with 40% of registered voters. (1/2)
