This week, the executive director of the State Board of Elections was fired.

Becki Gray, of the John Locke Foundation, and Rob Schofield, of NC Policy Watch, discuss whether the political ousting was par for the course or an unseemly maneuver.

Meanwhile, the weekly panelists talk election results from the special election primary in North Carolina's 9th congressional race and what the retirement of Chuck McGrady (R-Henderson) means for the state legislature.
