Why? Why? Why?

North Carolina has become the most expensive senate race this year. The race is between republican candidate Thom Thillis and democrat candidate Kay Hagan. Together they have spent over 113 million dollars. THIS IS NOT NECESSARY!!!!!!!!!! Candidates have become senators in the past for much less than this. Why do they spend so much when they will not make it back? NO ONE KNOWS!

Democrats projected to win....

Senator Kay Hagan has received boost in North Carolina. Of those who have voted so far, 47 percent have been registered Democrats and 32 percent are registered Republicans. Twenty-four percent of early voters are black. The figures are similar among the voters who did not vote in 2010. Kay Hagan has a great chance of winning this battle. There is only a small chance of Thom Thillis winning the battle but he is  not giving up, which he shouldn't. He has more "boots on the ground" meaning he has more people locally broadcasting about him and what he's doing.

Undecided voters in North Carolina

The undecided voters in North Carolina are becoming a huge factor in this midterm election. They will be the deciding factor to who wins this election. Hagan is up by the narrowest of margins but the race is still up for grabs. It all comes down to who wants it more or who's been trying to get those undecided voters to vote for their side. Even though Thillis is down, he has done more locally so think he will come out with the win. Thillis is a great candidate who is promising many beneficial things that could work out well for North Carolina. North Carolina has been a democratic state but many are unsatisfied with what Obama has done so the chances of it becoming a republican state are very good.

It's all about the money

Thom Thillis hasn't spent or raised nearly as much money this midterm as Kay Hagan but the race is still very close. Thom Thillis could spend more money to try and secure a spot but says it's not necessary

Big swing in North Carolina

Democrat Kay Hagan is currently ahead of republican Thom Thillis after a swing in the polls over the weekend. Hagan went from a 45% underdog to a 61% favorite to win the senatorial race in North Carolina. Sadly, North Carolina is projected to stay a democratic state by a small margin. Hagan hasn't clinched the victory Thillis could still come back and win it.

Special Voter ID

The voter ID issue in North Carolina in my opinion is not good. The government is trying to charge people to vote which they cannot do. They want people to buy a special license to vote and they will have to pay for the license required and it can only be used to vote. There will be no impact on the mid-term election because the law will not be established in North Carolina until the 2016 election. Thom Tillis has picked up momentum going into the homestretch of the race. Many things have led to this: Hagan admitted that she missed an Armed Services Committee meeting dealing with the Islamic State of Iraq, dissatisfaction with the Obama administration’s handling of domestic Ebola cases and several new stories about Hagan’s husband prospering from the stimulus law Hagan supported during her first months in the senate. This race is on pace to set a record for the most expensive senate race in history.

North Carolina

Obama won North Carolina in 2008 but the democrats started taxing the rich less and the poor more so there is a high chance North Carolina becomes a republican state. Beginning in 2016, North Carolina will require voters to show a photo ID when they show up to vote in person. Until 2016, most voters will not be required to show any form of identification when they vote. Under the new law, North Carolina residents are required to show a photo ID at polling places. The law was signed by Pat McCrory last month, and civil rights groups moved quickly to challenge it. They said that the law’s requirements will make it harder to vote and that racial minorities will be disproportionately affected because they are less likely to have the forms of photo ID required by the law. Gov. Pat McCrory said the law will protect the integrity of the election process. Voters will not be required to present a photo ID until the 2016 elections and insisted that the law was necessary to ensure that “no one’s vote is disenfranchised by a fraudulent ballot.” The New Law requires voters to present government-issued photo identification at the polls and shortens the early voting period from 17 to 10 days. It will also end pre-registration for 16- and 17-year-old voters who will be 18 on Election Day and eliminates same-day voter registration.
