from The Carolina Journal News Hour on WBT · host WBT
A shakeup at the State Board of Elections saw former Senator Bob Rucho resign, with Hawkins sworn in as his replacement. Meanwhile, the razor-thin State Senate District 26 race between Phil Berger and challenger Page remains unresolved, with 189 provisional ballots still to be reviewed. In DC, a Raleigh firefighter and Green Party candidate was arrested after disrupting a Senate hearing. In primary results, GOP voters rejected candidates associated with the “Educators on the Ballot” slate. Separately, state officials are warning that North Carolina’s ongoing budget impasse is nearing a crisis point if lawmakers fail to reach an agreement soon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
