Press Release:

    Raleigh, N.C.     State Board of Elections staff will hold a random drawing at 2:30 p.m. Friday, March 4 to determine the order of candidates on ballots for the 2022 primary and general elections.

    The candidate filing period ends at noon on March 4.

    The drawing will be streamed on Facebook Live on the State Board's Facebook page. A news release will be sent out after the drawing is held.

    The State Board is required to randomly determine the order of candidates on the ballot, according to N.C.G.S. § 163-165.6(c). The order will be determined by selecting a ball out of a bingo machine, with the letter on the ball corresponding with the first letter of a candidate's last name. Candidates whose names start with the letter drawn will appear first on the ballot for their contest. A subsequent coin flip will determine whether additional candidates will follow in alphabetical order or reverse alphabetical order.

    Lists of candidates may be found on the State Board website: Candidate Lists. These are updated twice daily through the end of the filing period.

    The 2022 primary election is May 17. The general election is November 8.

[State Board of Elections] Brinson Bell Appointed to National Boards Government, Governing Beaufort County New Initiative Launches to Advance Value-Based Oral Health Care in North Carolina

Latest Governing Beaufort County

Has the local government acted responsibly and transparently?
Beaufort County Commissioners meet, and work by a majority vote to do the business of those constituents they purport to represent.
Waste, fraud, abuse and incompetence continue to govern county school budgets and decision making.

However, if one believes that Beaufort County government is in full command of the issues of our times, here locally, one might need to steel their resolve for a more perfect understanding of the intellect possessed by the Center-Left /Left Coalition.
To borrow a big phrase from this salient plan originating at the federal level, under President Trump's watchful eye, whose time has finally arrived, even here in the mispent realm of Beaufort County government(s).
When President Trump professes "America First," he absolutely means it to his core, and to our benefit as a Representative Republic, which is a welcome change from the previous administration of Idiot President Biden; America's second Non Patriot President.
We must vet, and elect those who will actually represent the people or we will be stuck with the same mess we have now.

The process to close Snowden continues to move forward. Time is running out to oppose this decision.
