NCians United on Declaration of Independence, Divided on Whether America Fulfills its Ideals Large majorities say the Declaration's principles remain important, but partisan differences emerge over how closely the nation lives up to those founding ideals. #ncpol www.catawba.edu/news/all-new...

Who Should Run America's Elections? A Catawba-YouGov survey finds North Carolinians are wary of expanding the federal government's role in election administration—even as partisan divisions remain pronounced. #ncpol ncpoliticscenter.substack.com/p/who-should...

Curious about #ncpol's proposed election bill? Some of these changes expand voter access, some restrict voter access, some change institutional powers, and some are so benign as to not require comment. Here's my quick(ish) takeaway on what to pay attention to: open.substack.com/pub/chriscoo...

Today we honor the American flag—a symbol of our nation’s history, freedoms, & democratic ideals. Flag Day is an opportunity to reflect on the principles that unite us: civic participation, public service, respect for differing perspectives, and a shared commitment to strengthening our communities.

Ask North Carolinians What’s ‘American’ — and the Answers Split Fast NC Democrats & Republicans give very different answers about the nation's values and culture — but most of the gaps may not be just partisanship, but rather their worldview. #ncpol ncpoliticscenter.substack.com/p/ask-north-...
