Looking ahead to tomorrow's big and important primary election in NC
Tomorrow is Super Tuesday — the day on which voters in North Carolina and 14 other states (Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Virginia) go to the polls to help select the major party nominees for this November’s presidential election.
And unlike the other 14, Tuesday is also the day on which North Carolina voters will select major party nominees for governor and a host of other statewide offices. (Most states elect their governors in off-year elections, and while Utah and Vermont will do so in 2024, the primaries are scheduled for later this year.)
Tomorrow is also the day on which North Carolina voters will select nominees in 170 state legislative and 14 congressional districts. Indeed, in many races where district maps are gerrymandered to favor one party or the other, tomorrow’s election will almost certainly decide the winner in November.
Now add the fact that tomorrow’s results will also go a long way toward shaping national, state, and local policies on a host of enormously important issues – the climate crisis, abortion rights, America’s role in the world, the future of public education, and even the health of our democracy – and it becomes clear why it’s an enormously important election.
