Hurricane Helene may stall early voting in North Carolina: Asheville devastation
in History
Early voting in North Carolina is facing hurdles as the impacts of Hurricane Helene continue to devastate communities in the Southeast, blocking roads and disrupting services across the state.
The start of mail-in voting in the key state of North Carolina had already been delayed in court that ruled ballots must be reprinted without the option of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who suspended his campaign and endorsed former President Donald Trump.
Even before the devastating hurricane, all eyes were on North Carolina as it emerged as one of the key swing states of this election, with recent polling from CNN showing Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump virtually tied among likely voters in the state. A heated governor debate between state Attorney General Josh Stein and Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is also taking place in Tar Heel State.

About History
As Carl Sagan said, "You have to know the past to understand the present." History has shaped our nation's character, and our collective strength is measured in how we came together during our most challenging moments: the Civil War, World War I, Prohibition, World War II, the Dust Bowl, McCarthyism, the Cold War, the Challenger disaster, Operation Desert Storm, 9/11 and countless struggles before and since. But history also contains triumphs, from ending slavery to the moon landing to the fall of the Berlin Wall to Mars rover Curiosity. Join in discussion on these and more with historians, collectors, authors, professors and conspiracy theorists alike. Our hosts also show much support for our troops and military families. In fact, technology has played a big part in bringing soldiers closer to home, as they text, email and Skype from the front, and our “talk to the troops†episodes are always inspiring.
