AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Mail Voting Fight in Court: A federal judge extended a block on Trump-backed USPS rules that would have tightened mail-in voting, saying the changes likely violate the Constitution and could disenfranchise eligible voters; the administration is expected to appeal. NC Election Rules on the Ground: North Carolina’s first mail ballots went out as the state Board of Elections approved “numbered memos” that can spoil ballots with improperly sealed inner envelopes and limit who can return ballots for voters. Tax Limits on Ballots: A new poll finds strong, bipartisan support for two constitutional amendments on Nov. 3—capping the state income tax rate at 3.5% and limiting property tax increases by local governments, though support for property-tax limits drops when voters hear about possible service cuts. Local Fire Displacement: Forest City businesses hit by a downtown fire tied to the old Farmers Hardware building are searching for temporary locations while investigators continue looking into the cause. Arts & Culture: A North Carolina children’s history book, “Blue’s March,” was selected for the Library of Congress National Book Festival reading list. Business & Jobs: Boater’s World Manufacturing Group plans a Beaufort County boat campus in Chocowinity, aiming to create 179 jobs.
