North Carolina Senate races 2022

WXII 12 NEWS. LINDSEY, THANK YOU. AND IT IS NOT THE TOP RACE ON THE BALLOT. IT MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT VOTE IN THE. VOTERS DECIDE TODAY WHICH PARTY THEY WILL CONTROL. NORTH CAROLINA’S COURT. LET’S TURN THINGS TO BILL O’NEIL HE IS IN THE STUDIO WITH THIS STORY. BILL, WE SAW A LOT OF ADS FOR THESE TWO RACES TO IN WE. YEAH YEAH $12 MILLION WORTH A LOT OF MONEY HAS BEEN SPENT. DEMOCRATS CURRENTLY HAVE A 4 TO 3 MAJORITY IN THE HIGH COURT. THAT COULD CHANGE TODAY AS TWO SEATS ON THE SUPREME QUARTER ON THE BALLOT AND THAT STAKE. SOME OF THE MAJOR ISSUES OF THE DAY INCLUDING THE FUTURE OF ABORTION, VOTING RIGHTS, SCHOOL FUNDING. YOU MAY REMEMBER THAT JUST LAST WEEK DEMOCRATS RULED IN FAVOR OF THE LEANDER CASE ORDERING THE STATE TO PAY $750 MILLION TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. ON THE COURT VOTED AGAINST IT. TWO OF THE CANDIDATES ON TODAY’S BALLOT ARE INCUMBENTS SAM ERVIN AND THE REPUBLICAN CHALLENGER TREY ALLEN. BOTH TELL ME THERE IS NO ROOM FOR POLITICS ON THE COURT. DO YOU THINK THE PUBLIC TRUST IS VERY HIGH RIGHT NOW? THE SUPREME COURT IN NORTH CAROLINA? YOU KNOW, I DON’T KNOW. HAVEN’T SEEN ANY POLLING DATA ON IT. I MEAN, THERE YOU KNOW, THERE’S ANECDOTALLY, CERTAINLY AS I’VE GONE AROUND THE STATE CAMPAIGNING OVER THE LAST AND A HALF OR SO, I’VE HEARD PEOPLE EXPRESS CONCERNS THAT THE COURT BE INJECTING ITSELF TOO MUCH INTO POLITICAL ISSUES. WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO AS OFFICIALS WITHIN, THAT COURT SYSTEM, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON’T DO ANYTHING TO IMPAIR OUR PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE FAIRNESS OF THE IMPARTIALITY? WE CAN’T FIX THAT PROBLEM, BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THINGS THAT DON’T MAKE IT WORSE TO MEMBERS OF THE STATE COURT OF APPEALS OR VYING FOR THE OTHER SEAT ON NORTH CAROLINA’S HIGH COURT. IT IS DEMOCRAT LUCY INMAN VERSUS RICHARD DIETZ. AND AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, $12 MILLION SPENT BY BOTH THE CANDIDATES AND POLITICAL POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEES ON JUST THESE TWO RACES. BACK TO YOU GUYS. ALL RIGHT, BILL, THANK YOU. STATE ELECTION OFFICIALS HELD A NEWS CONFERENCE THIS MORNING AND THEY SAY THAT OVERALL, EVERYTHING HAS GONE AS PLANNED. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, FOUR POLLING PLACES ACROSS THE STATE, OPENED LATE THIS MORNING. ONE PRECINCT IN ROBERTSON COUNTY OPENED LATE BECAUSE THE BUILDING WAS LOCKED. THE OTHER THREE INSTANCES WERE AT POLLING PLACES IN COLUMBUS COUNTY WHERE THE CHECK IN COMPUTERS WERE NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED TO THE PRINTERS. WHILE IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THESE DELAYS HAVE OCCURRED, THERE ARE THEY ARE IN NO WAY NEFARIOUS OR FRAUDULENT. THESE THINGS HAPPEN. THE COUNTY’S QUICKLY CORRECTED THE SITUATIONS WITH ASSISTANCE FROM STATE BOARD STAFF. AND RIGHT NOW ALL POLLING PLACES ARE FULLY OPERATIONAL. SHE WENT ON TO SAY THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS WILL DETERMINE LATER TODAY IF THE SITES NEED TO BE OPEN ANY LATER. I FEEL LIKE THEY’VE ALREADY MADE DECISION AND WE REPORTED EARLIER
