Cotham resented attacks she received following her absence on a gun bill override vote. “People don’t care about the facts,” Cotham told me in a text message last week. “They will say whatever they want, they will be cruel, they are now attacking my family and children.” #ncpol

Several North Carolina Democrats who have sided with Republicans on key bills this session tell me they'll remain affiliated with the Democratic Party, including Reps. Abe Jones, Garland Pierce and Shelly Willingham. #ncpol Democratic Reps. Shelly Wil...
Rep. Michael Wray declined to comment on a possible party chain, though Democratic lawmakers see Brockman as more likely to leave the party than Wray. #ncpol

1/4 Not sure who this may help or bring comfort to, but I wanted to share this: In July 2018 outside a Sacramento, California, DMV office, I met Tyré Nichols. He had been waiting 6+ hours in miserable 98-degree heat...
2/ His story and those of others that day was the first of what would become 40ish articles from me holding the California DMV accountable for their actions. Nichols unknowingly contributed to setting in motion a series of stories that would better the lives of many Californians.
3/ I'm hoping this could bring comfort to those who knew him well or didn't know him at all but are impacted by the situation in Memphis. I'll remember him as an upbeat and remarkably patient young man, despite navigating a difficult circumstance. May his memory be a blessing.

JUST IN: Columbus, Robeson and Wilson counties will begin reporting results at 8:30pm tonight. As of now, all other NC counties are set to begin reporting at 7:30pm. #ncpol #Election2022 @WRAL
So what does this mean and why did this happen? There was either a technical or logistical issue at one precinct in each of these three counties that impacted voting access. As a result, state elections officials extended voting.
Biggest impact will likely be that it may take a little longer to know who won #NC01. Wilson Co. went for Biden by 3 points in 2020. The race between Democrat Don Davis and Republican Sandy Smith is considered the second-most competitive congressional race in the state. #ncpol
