JD Vance on western NC voting claims, plus our analysis of new Helene relief aid

from NC Capitol Wrap

As influential Republicans in the most pro-Trump wings of the party suggest a Kamala Harris victory in North Carolina will be illegitimate due to potential voting difficulties in western North Carolina. But state elections officials say voter turnout in Helene-hit counties is actually higher than the state average so far. And in a North Carolina campaign stop, Trump running mate JD Vance doesn't agree, telling WRAL the most important thing is just making sure everyone can vote. We look into what state elections officials, and the state legislature, are doing to make that happen. The legislature also passed hundreds of millions in new Helene funding. But it was billions less than Gov. Roy Cooper suggested. So what got left out? What did they agree on? And what's next? The full breakdown and more.
