A Democratic lawmaker wants judicial elections in North Carolina determined by nonpartisan contests.

A town hall held by Rep. Chuck Edwards in Asheville, North Carolina, got rowdy as attendees asked a barrage of scathing questions about policies rolled out under President Donald Trump's administration.

Are ballots valid if voters die before Election Day? The state seems to say no. That hasn’t stopped some officials from counting them anyway.

Democratic state lawmakers who served in the military demanded that Republican state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin abandon his attempt to invalidate thousands of ballots, including ones cast by military and overseas voters.

Contributors to Jefferson Griffin's legal expense fund include a judge on the North Carolina Court of Appeals, which could end up handling Griffin's lawsuit to invalidate more than 65,000 ballots in his state Supreme Court race.

The N.C. Supreme Court is weighing whether to toss out more than 60,000 ballots cast in the race for a seat on that tribunal. That race is the last uncertified statewide contest in the nation.

While a Republican judicial candidate fights in state and federal courts to invalidate more than 60,000 ballots in his race for a state Supreme Court seat, GOP state lawmakers are in court defending a law that would shift authority over elections in North Carolina from the Democratic governor's office to the GOP state auditor.

The chairman of the Democratic National Committee joined North Carolina's former governor and head of the state's Democratic Party to denounce a Republican candidate's attempts to invalidate more than 60,000 ballots in a tight state Supreme Court race.

North Carolina General Assembly elections have been finalized and confirm that Republicans have lost their veto-proof control of the legislature after nearly two years.

North Carolina House Republicans have carried out a succession plan to choose the chamber's rules committee chairman to succeed Rep. Tim Moore after 10 years as speaker. Republicans who recently won House elections met Tuesday and chose Rep. Destin Hall of Caldwell County to succeed Moore in the post when the next two-year session opens in January.
