AI, broken media, and negligent social media companies have made it easier than ever to reach millions of people with a big, fat lie. Don’t play into it. Here’s how to spot the misinformation.
If the past is any precedent, Justice Allison Riggs or Judge Jefferson Griffin will likely have a say over future decisions about the state’s public education system.
A chief architect of Project 2025 — the controversial conservative blueprint to remake the federal government — Vought is likely to be appointed to a high-ranking post in a second Trump administration. And he’s been drafting a so-far secret “180-Day Transition Playbook” to speed the plan’s implementation to avoid a repeat of the chaotic start that dogged Trump’s first term.
The group, which includes retired NC Supreme Court Justice Robert Orr and former Georgia Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan, hopes to encourage conservatives, as well as current and disaffected Republicans to vote for Kamala Harris for president.

“Governors like him know what it takes to get the job done, and he will be an outstanding vice president, doubling down on his work to support middle class families, protect reproductive freedom, and safeguard our democracy,” North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said.
As governor of Minnesota, Walz has made school lunches free for all students, created a paid family and medical leave program, increased public school funding, legalized recreational marijuana, and made abortion a fundamental right under state law.
Harris has vowed to restore abortion rights nationwide, if elected, and has been a staunch defender of reproductive freedom, and her commitment to those positions is gaining praise in North Carolina.
Kamala Harris has proposed increasing the corporate tax rate, expanding the child tax credit, and cutting taxes for more than 100 million working and middle class Americans. Donald Trump, meanwhile, said he wants to permanently extend tax breaks that primarily benefited the ultra-wealthy and corporations.
Just like he did in 2020, when he began attacking mail-in voting months before Election Day, Donald Trump appears to be laying the groundwork to once again challenge any election results he doesn’t like.
The North Carolina Board of Elections created a webpage - NCSBE.gov/Helene - where they have vowed to put all relevant Helene-election information, including much of what you are about to read here.
