Abstract:
Earlier this year, a federal judge ruled that the legislature’s congressional district maps constituted an illegal racial gerrymander. So the legislature had to redraw the maps and reschedule the congressional primaries for June 7. Because of the time crunch between June and November, there will be no runoff.

Abstract:
In February, judges decided that North Carolina had impermissibly racially gerrymandered its congressional districts. The General Assembly postponed the state's congressional primary to June 7 and eliminated runoff elections. Candidates spent a lot of money in the primary, with Republican Patrick McHenry spending the most at about one-hundred dollars per vote.

Abstract:
In the past, North Carolina’s cities and counties have been run by all-white governments. But now, 22 years after the Voting Rights Act of 1965, local government structures are changing so that blacks can finally get elected. At least 30 local governments are in the process of changing to systems that are no longer solely inclusive of white politicians.

Abstract:
From 1790-1815, Federalists and Jeffersonian Republicans were struggling for supremacy in national and state politics. North Carolina's majority population of individualistic farmers claimed to be firmly Republican, a fact which period elections reflected until the election of 1789 when the war with the French changed voting dynamics and the Federalists won congressional seats. This article looks at the elections held every year between 1803 and 1810 to examine how the Republicans regained the political ground lost in the 1789 election.
