Judge Alexander became the first African-American elected judge in North Carolina and only the second female African-American judge to be elected in the nation on 1 Judge Alexander often told persons appearing in her court that “‘the truth will set you free,’ a saying her father frequently employed to encourage her ‘to approach things with honesty and integrity.’” Interview by Anna Barbara Perez with Hon. Elreta Alexander Ralston, in Greensboro, N.C. (Feb. 18, 1993), 3-4. 2 Associate Justice, Supreme Court of North Carolina. Justice Timmons-Goodson began her judicial career in 1984 when Governor James B. Hunt appointed her a trial judge in the Twelfth Judicial District of North Carolina. She writes that “after more than twenty-five years in the judiciary of North Carolina, it is unlikely that I have twenty-five or even twelve years more to serve. This realization leaves me both immensely grateful for the privilege that I have been given by the people of North Carolina to serve as a judge, but also reflective. As I consider my service on the Supreme Court of North Carolina, I am mindful that some thirty years earlier, another African-American woman offered herself for service on North Carolina’s court of last resort.

J _j. c files this complaint seeking an immediate investigation by the 7 c; a > Federal Election Commission into the illegal spending A* practices of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee (WRSCIt). As the public record shows, and an investigation will confirm, the NRSC and a series of ostensibly nonprofit, nonpartisan groups have undertaken a significant and sustained effort to funnel "soft money101 into federal elections in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended or "the Act"), 2 U.S.C. 5s 431 et seq., and the Federal Election Commission (peFECt)Regulations, 11 C.F.R. 85 100.1 & sea.

THE FACTS IN TBIS CABE On November 24, 1992, the state of Georgia held a unique runoff election for the office of United States Senator. Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell. The Republicans presented this election as a %ust-win81 election. Exhibit 1. The Republicans were so intent on victory that Senator Dole announced he was willing to give up his seat on the Senate Agriculture Committee for Coverdell, if necessary.

    The Colorblind Turn in Indian Country: Lumbee Indians, Civil Rights, and Tribal State Formation by Harold Walker Elliott A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2019 Doctoral Committee: Professor Philip Deloria, Co-Chair, Harvard University Professor Matthew Lassiter, Co-Chair Associate Professor Matthew Countryman Professor Barbra Meek Professor Tiya Miles, Harvard University Harold Walker Elliott [email protected] ORCID iD 0000-0001-5387-3188 © Harold Walker Elliott 2019 DEDICATION To my father and mother, Hal and Lisa Elliott And for Lessie Sweatt McCloud, her ancestors, and her descendants ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is the culmination of eight years of graduate study and nearly a decade of research, writing, and editing. The result is deeply imperfect. Its faults come from my many shortcomings as an author. For anything this project does accomplish, I owe credit to the many people who have helped me along the way. Completing this project would have been impossible without the love, support, and inspiration of my parents, Hal and Lisa Elliott. During my upbringing, they instilled the values that guided me through the moral choices that a project like this one entails. My mother and her family have always been the driving forces behind my research into Lumbee and American Indian history. My father, a reluctant physician, passed down his fondness for history and dream of writing it. In the many difficult moments over the past eight years, my parents steadied me with long hugs or reassuringly familiar, South Carolina-accented voices on the phone.

As as result, the user is advised that some errors in character recognition may have resulted within the text. >> OPEN-END RESPONSES FOR THE 1987 PILOT WAVES 1 AND 2 N.B. 1. The first part of this section is a memo by John Zaller, "Cognitive Responses to Survey Questions" which documents and discusses the coding scheme for the cognitive experiments on the Pilot Study. Those who plan to use these data should, without fail, read this memo. 2. The Zaller memo is followed by the open-end master codes: a) direction of response b) emotional intensity and elaboration of thought c) Frame of reference and content code 3. Numerous variables refer to PF 10. PF 10 is a function key used by CATI interviewers in recording comments of respondents. These side comments have been coded for this study. 4. In Wave 2 variables, respondents who were interviewed in Wave 1 but not re-interviewed in Wave 2 have had data variables padded with O's. This is not explicitly stated in the variable documentation. COGNITIVE RESPONSES TO SURVEY QUESTIONS The 1987 Pilot study carried a series of questions designed to elicit information about what is on people's minds as they respond to survey questions. The basic method was to ask individuals a standard policy question and then to use open-ended probes tofind out what exactly the individual thought about that issue.

  • The American Review of Politics, Vol
    Back to Blue? Shifting Tides of Red and Blue and The Dole-Hagan Senate Race in North Carolina Jody C. Baumgartner, Peter L. Francia, Brad Lockerbie, and Jonathan S. Morris At the start of the 2008 election cycle, not many observers or analysts would have predicted that Senator Elizabeth Dole would lose her seat. Indeed, in their January 2008 analysis of U.S. Senate races, the non-partisan Cook Political Report rated Dole’s seat “solid Republican.” However, the dynamics in North Carolina began to change and Dole was on the long list of Republicans who had the potential to lose; by May the race had shifted to the “likely Republican” category, by the end of summer Dole’s seat was classified as “lean Republican,” and in the middle of the fall campaign it was judged as a “toss up.” This article explores the contest between Elizabeth Dole and Kay Hagan by tracing the factors that allowed this apparently “safe” Republican seat to be captured by Democrats in 2008. While we discuss a number of factors that help to explain Hagan’s victory, we suggest that a changing partisan electoral environment resulting from the immigra- tion of non-Southerners to the state not only favored this outcome, but may auger well for the Democratic Party in the future. In other words, a state that had shifted red during the past several decades may be reverting back to blue. Next, we outline the shifting electoral and demographic landscape in North Carolina and contrast the candidates. Then, we discuss the environ- mental factors arrayed against Dole in 2008, including the mood of the state, an economic crisis, the popularity of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama in North Carolina, and a competitive Democratic primary that drew out a large number of newly registered Democrats.
