NC's Board of Elections will attempt to correct or "repair" over 100k voter registrations that are missing data. @ChrisSinclair09 explains why this task should be feasible for NC elections officials and is not heavily partisan as a task. #ncpol #StateLines @MyPBSNC
@JeffJacksonNC is suing @realDonaldTrump over canceled funding for local NC towns to move and upgrade water treatment and runoff infrastructure. @TravisFain say We can't cut our way out of national debt in this State Lines Clip. #ncpol #StateLines @MyPBSNC
Federal funding cuts will push spending decisions to state & local gov't leaders. Congress saved money, but will taxpayers/votesr expect a local funding response? Reporter @dawnbvaughan thinks NC leaders may be handed the tough debates in coming years. #ncpol From State Lines
This week on State Lines @ChrisSinclair09, @MikeCausey2020, @dawnbvaughan & @TravisFain discuss AG Jackson’s two lawsuits over education and storm prep funds, Chantal’s costly floods in NC, the Rescission Bill’s effect on NC & more! Watch now: youtu.be/OodI439rfww?si… #ncpol

2 weeks ago, @SenThomTillis tweeted about @markrobinsonNC to @realDonaldTrump. This week, @jaketapper of @CNN interviewed Tillis & Robinson's name arose again. I've seen tweets supporting Robinson. I asked @PatRyanNC what gives w/ the unsolicited attention to Robinson. #ncpol
Only @SenThomTillis knows if he's leaving politics all together (to join us Civilians, again), there are other options to public service. @Bode4Senate recently "retired" from the NC Senate, so I asked her about walking away, even temporarily, in this State Lines Clip. #ncpol
This is some good analysis from @TheresaK_NC regarding the 2026 NC US Senate race. Do you think @realDonaldTrump decides NC's @NCGOP nominee? Is @RoyCooperNC a lock to run in the Dem primary? Check this out from @MyPBSNC "State Lines". #ncpol
This week on State Lines @Bode4Senate, @PatRyanNC, @TheresaK_NC & Michael McElroy discuss the One Big Beautiful Bill’s impact on the NC budget, Sen. Tillis’ comments on Senate candidates, sports betting revenues and more! Watch now: youtu.be/-6DJT1eov7Y?si… #ncpol #ncga #ncgov

Sen. @SenThomTillis is not seeking re-election to NC's U.S. Senate seat in 2026. @joeytwogloves talks Tillis's leadership style in an era that demands political loyalty. Plus, Tillis didn't say he was retiring all together. @dawnbvaughan suggests Tillis for Gov? #ncpol
If the Feds pay less than 90% of the Medicaid expansion costs, NC law ends it. @SenThomTillis calls this threat a broke promise. Rep. @timmoorenc says he's been promised that @MyNCSenate & @NCHouseGOP will protect the vulnerable. Here's @raleighreporter's take on State Lines.
Hurricane Helene recovery, budget stalemate, One Big Beautiful Bill effects on NC spending (Medcaid and Food Stamps) & possible coastal storms in Fall '25....@NCGOP leaders could face many big issues in the coming months. @RaleighReporter lays it out here for State Lines. #ncpol
Another great shows guys! A plethora of thought provoking questions with multiple possible answers. Thank you @kellymccullen, @dreakcorona and guests for always making State Lines so interesting!
This week on State Lines @RaleighReporter @mitchkokai @dawnbvaughan & @joeytwogloves discuss how the Big, Beautiful Bill could impact NC, what no state budget means, Sen. Tillis not seeking re-election & who might run for Senate in 2026! Watch now: youtu.be/T3BKIiOlXTY?si… #ncpol

On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress voted for independence & it was believed the day would be celebrated as America’s great anniversary. But 2 days later, the #DeclarationOfIndependence was adopted & it eclipsed the vote. The 12-0-1 (NY abstained) vote count is⬇️ 🇺🇸
2026 U.S. Senate race in NC will be wild. With Tillis out, and uncertainty remaining on whether Roy Cooper will run, it's a wide open race right now: wunc.org/politics/2025-… #ncpol
Sen. Thom Tillis announces he won’t run for reelection. #ncpol
State Lawmakers haven't approved it (yet), but reducing state gov't by eliminating vacant positions seems to be on the way once @MyNCSenate and @NCHouseGOP agree on the terms. Dem. Rep. @CervaniaNc says vacancies might reflect poor pay more than the job being not needed. #ncpol…
NC House & NC Senate concluded the fulltime 2025 legislative session w/out a budget. But, look at the @NCHouseGOP & @MyNCSenate mini-budgets to see some of each side's priorities. Sen. @benton_sawrey explains the Senate GOP side on State Lines. #ncpol youtu.be/dB9YfR9P5UE?t=…
This week on State Lines @SFalmlen, Sen. @benton_sawrey, Rep. @mcervania & @DonnaKingCJ discuss NC budget negotiations, Hurricane Helene relief grants, an early DMV audit report, elections board appointments and more! Watch now: youtu.be/dB9YfR9P5UE?si… #ncpol #ncga #ncgov
