11 Governor's mansions up for grabs, with a toss-up in NH and tight contest in NC

On this episode: 11 Gubernatorial elections on the ballot this November – in Delaware, Indiana, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia, as well as American Samoa and Puerto Rico. Most of these contests aren’t expected to be competitive – but two – in New Hampshire and North Carolina – are about as close as they can get.  In this episode, we’ll take a closer look at both of those gubernatorial contests with the help of two journalists closely covering what’s unfolding in those states – Madison Fernandez, a reporter at Politco, and Dawn Vaughan, the Capitol Bureau Chief for The Raleigh News & Observer. Later in the episode, we’ll welcome Ballotpedia’s own Glorie Martinez for an overview of the other nine races, as well as some recent history, trifecta statuses, and more.
