Unaffiliated voters led NC’s early turnout, Republican advantage grows

With early voting closed and Election Day just hours away, North Carolina's unaffiliated voters cast the most early ballots of any group, up more than 100,000 votes over 2020 turnout. "The 2024 electorate looks different from 2020 in important ways, all of which appear to benefit Republicans," said Andy Jackson of the John Locke Foundation.
