In the past month, I’ve been surrounded by a push to vote on campus.
This year’s midterm elections are perhaps the most crucial that we, as young people, have ever faced. Reproductive freedoms are on the line following the Supreme Court’s decision on Dobbs v. Jackson, as are pathways to securing social, economic and criminal justice reforms. The Editorial Board knows that the stakes are high.
This election season, poll workers and poll observers will be present at each polling site in Orange County to serve the community.
Many North Carolinians interested in making their voices heard in the 2022 midterm election have faced institutional, economic and informational challenges.
This article is the journalistic equivalent of those anti-smoking ads with the old people saying “I smoked 17 packs a day and it ruined my life. Don’t smoke, kids”. I have FiveThirtyEight's polling averages pulled up right now. I am addicted. It's not healthy.
We have the chance to help nurses around the country. Nurse burnout and shortages have increased during the pandemic, but the pandemic also brought awareness. A bill has been introduced in the Senate that seeks to create minimum nurse staffing ratios that takes acuity into account – the Nurse Staffing Standards for Hospital Patient Safety and Quality Care Act of 2021. Patients are sicker than ever and need more time and attention from their nurses. A minimum staffing ratio means that there is a limit to the number of patients that a nurse can be assigned. California has had mandatory minimum staffing ratios since 1999, and evidence shows that it results in better patient outcomes, less nurse burnout and turnover. Despite this evidence, no other state has this rule in place. The ‘Nurse Staffing Standards’ bill has the opportunity to help nurses and patients alike across the country. Unfortunately, this bill has become sequestered in a committee since the day it was introduced AND the term for consideration is rapidly ending. Our current Senator’s term is ending, and he is not seeking re-election. We can let our next senator know that the health and wellbeing of our nurses and patients matter to us. And maybe they will help reintroduce this bill for 2022-23 consideration.
As of the end of Oct. 17, over 41,000 North Carolinians have cast their vote through absentee ballots.
Clarence Thomas has a brilliant legal mind. But I hate the role he plays on the Supreme Court.
Although the North Carolina U.S. Senate race may be drawing the most attention, the 2022 midterm elections will also determine control of the North Carolina General Assembly and, potentially, the future of abortion access in North Carolina.
Midterm elections will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 8. It will be one of the most pivotal elections of our generation for reproductive justice.
Driving down Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard, Chapel Hill residents seeking an abortion or reproductive care pass the Planned Parenthood Chapel Hill Health Center. Just three minutes away is the Pregnancy Support Services center.
As states further restrict abortion access, North Carolina has become a critical access point for reproductive care in the South.
My dad and I debate about politics as the news plays on the TV in the background. He says young people are brainwashed by social media. I say older people aren’t any better.
Republicans are proving, yet again, why this year’s midterm election cycle is one of the most important of our generation. It is absolutely necessary to show up and vote on Election Day.
A recent report found that 1,180 North Carolinians have been members of the Oath Keepers, a far-right group that was involved with the United States Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.
The 2022 midterm elections are less than seven weeks away, and both of the incumbents for seats 10 and 11 on the North Carolina Court of Appeals are running to keep their seats this November.
Both chambers of the North Carolina General Assembly reconvened on Sept. 20 for a three-day procedural session amid a backdrop of the upcoming midterm election and debates over Medicaid expansion and student loan forgiveness.

On Aug. 25, the North Carolina Rules Review Commission struck down a North Carolina State Board of Elections request to place additional restrictions on poll observers.
During the fall of 1982, law enforcement arrested over 500 Warren County residents protesting in the first major demonstration of the environmental justice movement.
