[…] The party chairman, Robin Hayes, faces the gravest set of charges of the four men who were indicted. Mr. Hayes was accused of bribery and conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud, along with several counts of making false statements.” [Alan Blinder, “North Carolina G.O.P.

Robert ‘Robin’ Hayes’s plea deal requires him to cooperate with federal prosecutors and potentially testify against three other men indicted with him in March, according to documents. Hayes, 74, was accused of participating in a plot to bribe a state insurance commissioner with $2 million toward a reelection campaign — in exchange for the removal of another official involved in the regulation of GOP donor and co-defendant Greg Lindberg’s private-equity company, according to the indictment.” [Hannah Knowles, “Former North Carolina GOP state party chairman pleads guilty to making false statement to FBI,” The Washington Post, 10/02/19] As The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB’s) Policy Associate Director For External Affairs, Andrew Duke, “Serves As A 3 of 14 Liaison To The Director’s Office” And Helps To Lead “The Strategic Direction For The Division.” In January 2019, Andrew Duke Was Named The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB’s) Policy Associate Director For External Affairs, Where He “Serves As A Liaison To The Director’s Office” And Helps To Lead “The Strategic Direction For The Division.” On January 25, 2019, The CFPB Announced Andrew Duke Would Serve As Its Policy Associate Director For External Affairs. “Andrew Duke will serve as the Policy Associate Director for External Affairs.

RThe school doesn’t have a caf- eteria or an auditorium. Students don’t have a gym or sports facilities, though students can still participate in athletic activities at a neighbor- ing park. The school building itself on Glenwood Avenue is fairly dat- ed; it certainly isn’t what someone would call a 21st-century, state-of- the-art facility. Yet despite all real or perceived — or esthetic — shortcomings, stu- dents at Raleigh Charter are per- forming better than most students in the state. Supporters of school choice say it’s that choice that empowers par- ents to pick the best place for their children to attend school.

  • State of North Carolina in the General Court of Justice Superior Court Division County of Wake 18 Cvs 014001
    STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA IN THE GENERAL COURT OF JUSTICE SUPERIOR COURT DIVISION COUNTY OF WAKE 18 CVS 014001 COMMON CAUSE, et al., Plaintiffs, PLAINTIFFS’ PRETRIAL v. MEMORANDUM DAVID LEWIS, IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS SENIOR CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON REDISTRICTING, et al., Defendants. INTRODUCTION Partisan gerrymandering is an existential threat to democracy in North Carolina. Republicans in the North Carolina General Assembly have egregiously rigged the state legislative district lines to guarantee that their party will control both the North Carolina House of Representatives and the North Carolina Senate regardless of how the people of North Carolina vote. This attack on representative democracy and North Carolinians’ voting rights is wrong. It violates the North Carolina Constitution. And only the courts of this State can bring it to an end. In 2011, following a national movement by the Republican Party to entrench itself in power through control over redistricting, Legislative Defendants’ mapmaker manipulated district boundaries with surgical precision to maximize the political advantage of Republican voters and minimize the representational rights of Democratic voters. And it worked: in the 2012, 2014, and 2016 elections, Republicans won veto-proof super-majorities in both chambers of the General Assembly. Then, in 2017, after federal courts stuck down some of the 2011 districts as illegal racial gerrymanders, Republicans redoubled their efforts to gerrymander the district lines on partisan grounds. Evidence from the mapmaker’s own files shows his laser-like focus on drawing new districts in 2017 to maximize the political advantage of Republicans. And again, it worked. The votes that North Carolinians cast in elections should matter, but Legislative Defendants’ mapmaker produced maps where their votes don’t matter.

Utilities Commission Hearing Schedule • UNC Board of Governors • Other Meetings and Events of Interest News Summary Special Legislative Election Voters who successfully sued to strike down nearly 30 North Carolina General Assembly districts told a federal court Friday they want new maps drawn by late January and a special legislative election sometime in 2017. The lawyers for the voters filed a short report laying out an accelerated schedule they want the legislature to follow to replace the current boundaries. Republican legislative leaders, through their attorneys, offered their own competing proposal earlier Friday that would give them until next July to enact new maps and until November 2018 to hold elections, which would be in keeping with the current biennial schedule. A three-judge panel last month determined 19 House and nine Senate districts were illegal racial gerrymanders. The judges decided it was too late in the election cycle to redraw new maps and conduct elections under them in November, so instead they directed the General Assembly to retool the districts in the 2017-2018 session.

  • Post Election Alert
    Government Relations Update Election 2008 Special Edition A Look Behind the Numbers Obama’s win is also notable in that it was truly a national win. In acquir- ing at least 349 electoral votes, the Illinois Senator garnered victories in key states in every region of the country—New England, Mid-Atlantic, South, Midwest, Plains, Mountain West, Southwest, and Northwest. As John Kerry did before him, Senator Obama carried every state in the Northeast. His break- through states, ones he took out of the GOP column from 2004, were Florida, Ohio, Colorado, New Mexico, Virginia, Nevada, and Iowa. As this is written, Obama holds a small lead in North Carolina, a state that went to Bush in 2004. Senator McCain maintains a small lead in Missouri, also a “red” state last time. The 44th President of the United States SENATOR BARACK OBAMA’S solid victo- ry in the 2008 presidential election is historic—an African-American has been elected President of the United States. It is also historic in terms of political history in that his campaign appears to have generated the highest voter turnout in recent memory, based on the percentage of registered voters who came to the polls.
