I’m optimistic that the next few years will see the Dem Party well equipped to take the fight to Republicans in the state who’ve basically had their way with lower and middle class North Carolinians.

The Harris campaign will leave behind a small army of young, trained political operatives. Shame on this columns readers and other activists across the state if the Party isn’t pushed to retake the state legislative majorities in the next cycle. At least put up a damn tough, organized and financed fight!

Bill, I don't think you understand how it works in NC.
Unless/until we flip the NC Supreme Court, the NC legislature will remain gerrymandered and we will have a GOP majority in the NC legislature. (NC doesn't have citizen led ballot initiatives like AZ, FL, KS, OH, etc.). There is NO path for the Democrats to regain the majority of the NC Supreme Court until the 2028 election. What we can do this election is to eliminate the GOP supermajority in the NC House and Senate which give the GOP a veto-proof supermajority!
We lost the Supreme Court majority because of a combination of lackluster Democratic turnout and ballot drop off (where voters don't vote in down-ballot races especially for judicial races). Encourage everyone to vote early Oct 17 - Nov 2 and Vote UP and DOWN the entire ballot!!
