Abstract:

Abstract:
North Carolina’s judiciary is rapidly becoming a comprised branch of government as new legislation has significantly changed the branch. Several laws passed by the General Assembly have changed campaign financing laws for judges, changed the review process for determining whether a law is unconstitutional or not, and stripped the Judicial Standards Commission of most of its regulatory ability. The North Carolina Bar Association has asked the governor to veto some of the legislation and commentators worry that the new changes will make judges partisan as they are influenced by large campaign donations.

Abstract:
With Mitt Romney’s loss to Barack Obama, the influence of the white male vote and white male politicians is fading. The number of women in office is increasing and while that should indicate a change, in North Carolina, it hasn’t. The women in office in NC are just as conservative as their male counterparts. The sex of politics is changing, but not the points of view.

Abstract:
Democrats did not do well in the 2012 elections in North Carolina. The reasons for the likely Republican victories began two years ago. The Republicans' 2010 victory happened as a national census ensured newly drawn voting districts, and from the large increase in campaign donations in support of Republicans. With the money and control of the map, Republicans easily kept control of state politics.
