On this day 84 years ago, the Supreme Court said Congress could regulate the wheat one man grew for himself bc if enough farmers did the same, they wouldn’t buy enough wheat. And thus the Commerce Clause was blown open. #JusticeForRoscoe (outside Filburn’s farmhouse)
Happy Wickard v. Filburn Day to those who celebrate.

When redistricting, splitting precincts should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. Helping your party win the district is not absolutely necessary.
For example, see Precinct 17-02 in Wake County. (link below) #ncpol

Some Rankin County voters' ballots weren't counted because although they voted in the correct room and in the correct building for their polling place, they cast a ballot in the wrong precinct.
Two precincts vote at the same place.

Reminder that Margaret Atwood wrote The Handmaiden's Tale because she is an Islamophobic radfem who was horrified by the Islamic Revolution. Since then she has continued to rail against Iran, but has also been a vocal supporter of Ukraine. She has said almost nothing about Gaza
The Handmaid’s Tale. Fast den här gången ska vi applådera. Hon är ju läkare för tusan!

One of the less understood NC provisional ballots categories is "No Record of Registration" (NROR). This is when a prospective voter presents but the pollworker can't find the voter in the pollbook. This is usually because the voter is in fact NOT registered, and you can't y. Of the 34,782 2026 provisionals, 46% are NROR. Of the 26,022 2022 provisionals, 50% were NROR, but 1,120 (9%) WERE counted, usually because the pollworker could not find the voter in the pollbook, but the name was actually there, OR there may have been an error in processing a timely registration OR still in a queue from DMV. See image below for party and race stats on 2026 and 2022 NROR. In 2022, a plurality were registered Republican, in 2026 they were more than 2 to 1 Democratic. An interesting factoid, for any NROR not counted, the provisional form is also a voter registration, so the person will be registered for future elections. If 9% of the 16,021 NROR for 2026 are counted, the remaining 14,000+ not counted will become registered voters! #ncpol

" Jackson hopes that with a divided state legislature and the lessons of the 2010 and 2026 elections, lawmakers might consider real redistricting reform."

Big analysis for a big election.
Democrats won everywhere. But why? Will it last? How effectively will they be able to govern?
I tackle these questions using data, voters’ poll commentary & the help of @andyinrok @chriscooperwcu @abreezeclayton

The John Locke Foundation proposed rules-based redistricting reform in 2023. Here is a summary. Details in the link below. #ncpol
I agree about the amendment being needed, but I’m deeply skeptical of “independent” commissions. This just invites more conspiracy theories and fighting. The path forward is clear ground rules for what constitutes a district.
