Since 2010, North Carolina has frequently been in the spotlight of American politics. Culture wars, gerrymandering, and a newfound presidential battleground have made our state’s legislature - and electorate - among the most fraught, fascinating, and fought over in the country. On this Election Day, we revisit our political history.
