Never happened.
Never happened.
The horrific Buncombe County jail — the deadliest in the state — is back in the news.
In 2022 we published this expose from a whistleblower who laid out, in detail, how dangerous the conditions there are and the ensuing cover-up from local political elites when he warned them. #avlnews
North Carolinians have a pivotal part to play in the midterms. Troublingly, our State Board of Elections is working to undermine them. ncnewsline.com/2026/03/10/r... (commentary) #ncpol

Pundits think Democrats will take back the House in November

What is the intermediate/long-term future look like for North Carolina's politics?
