The new year brings some political changes for North Carolina, both in Raleigh and on Capitol Hill.

The state will be without representation in one of it's Congressional districts for an undetermined amount of time. And the Governor now carries the threat of a veto which packs a more significant punch.

Becki Gray, of the John Locke Foundation, and Rob Schofield, of NC Policy Watch, join WUNC Capitol Bureau Chief Jeff Tiberii to discuss an election controversy, and also to forecast several policy issues likely to emerge in 2019.
