“Non-partisan” races

[saynotoplutocrats]

On NC ballots, looks like on most “non-partisan” races, like judges and board of elections, the Republican is listed first and the Democrat second. So a good rule of thumb (if you don’t know who to vote for in one of those races), mark the second box and you will be picking the Democrat. This is apparently a result of a new rule passed by the GOP recently that makes the candidate of the party holding the Governor’s office first on the ballot.
