It&rsquo;s a firmly purple state that tends to lean toward Republicans at the state level, though it has a record of electing Democratic governors and casting its Electoral College votes for Democrats. However, with popular Gov. <strong>Roy Cooper <\/strong>(D-NC) term-limited and the fiery, controversial Lt. Gov. <strong>Mark Robinson<\/strong>, a Republican, running to replace him, Republicans are feeling bullish about their chances of turning over the leadership and records in the state.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As part of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3139938\/batteground-ballots-arizona-election-voting-laws\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Battleground Ballots<\/a> series, White House Reporter <strong>Christian Datoc <\/strong>ran through everything you need to know about the contested landscape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Beyond its status as a swing state stuffed with persuadable voters, North Carolina is especially important for the two major presidential campaigns because how voters there think about them right now could determine their futures. Many voters will wait until after the first presidential debate on Sept. 10 to cast their ballots. More will hold off until Election Day itself on Nov. 5. But voters are going to start receiving their mail-in ballots on Friday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Unlike in 2020, Republicans are less concerned about mail-in ballots in North Carolina. The party has broadly accepted the new status quo and is encouraging voters to take advantage of absentee and early voting opportunities if they are so inclined.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What is frustrating Republicans is the state&rsquo;s alleged unwillingness to clean up voter rolls and ensure that only citizens are registering to vote and casting ballots.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Despite efforts to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/4-key-policy-areas-where-the-democratic-leadership-and-black-voters-disagree\/\" title=\"4 Key Policy Areas Where The Democratic Leadership And Black Voters Disagree\">increase election security<\/a> since the last general election, the North Carolina State Board of Elections has been slapped with six lawsuits over the past 40 days,&rdquo; Christian wrote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Republican National Committee sued the state Board of Elections last month for not checking questionnaires that would have identified noncitizens who had registered to vote. It also sued the board to remove 200,000 voters from the rolls in a separate suit.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The NCSBE has once again failed in its mandate to keep noncitizens off the voter rolls, fueling distrust and jeopardizing our elections.

Kennedy Jr.<\/strong>, who wants to have his name removed from ballots in the state after scratching his way onto them with his We the People Party.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy withdrew from the presidential contest last month and has since thrown his support behind Trump. But his presence on ballots in several key states could be enough for his former supporters to still mark him down as their choice, cutting into Trump&rsquo;s share and possibly tipping the contest in Harris&rsquo;s favor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Click <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3142047\/battleground-ballots-north-carolina-voting-lawsuits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><em>here<\/em><\/a><em>  to read Christian&rsquo;s full report on everything you need to know about North Carolina in 2024.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baby bump?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>When the Supreme Court overturned <em>Roe v. Wade <\/em>two years ago, abortion proponents raised the alarm that the decision was going to sap the numbers of new obstetricians and gynecologists as well as hollow out labor and delivery wards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Half of that prediction appears prescient. While there is a falling number of OB-GYN medical students, and labor wards are closing in some areas, the root cause doesn&rsquo;t appear to be any anti-abortion law that has passed, according to a new study Healthcare Reporter <strong>Gabrielle Etzel <\/strong>wrote about this morning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Democrats running in the 2024 elections have highlighted abortion bans in 24 states as the reason women lack access to OB-GYN care, even in emergency situations such as miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy,&rdquo; Gabrielle wrote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;But a new study published recently from the CLI, the think tank arm of the anti-abortion advocacy group SBA Pro-Life America, notes that structural problems with medical education have contributed to this problem for more than the past two years since <em>Dobbs<\/em>,&rdquo; she wrote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A study published in <em>Annals of Family Medicine <\/em>last year warned that because abortion training is often a part of OB-GYN training, though it isn&rsquo;t required for accreditation, states that banned the procedure wouldn&rsquo;t be training doctors to perform it, driving them away from the programs entirely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;These bans have raised concerns about the availability of comprehensive reproductive health training for clinicians in abortion-restrictive states,&rdquo; several doctors <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC10681702\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>wrote<\/a> in the introduction of the study. &ldquo;For medical residencies in obstetrics and gynecology (OB\/GYN), Vinekar et al conducted an analysis on the projected impact of <em>Dobbs<\/em> before the decision and found 45% of accredited OB\/GYN residency programs were in states anticipated to ban abortion if <em>Roe<\/em> was overturned.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But straight-line projections rarely come true. Gabrielle wrote this morning that medical school enrollment is up, but the number of OB-GYN residencies is down.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Although the number of medical school graduates, including OB-GYNs, is up overall, there are not enough residency program spots available for doctors post-graduation,&rdquo; Gabrielle wrote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;While the number of OB-GYN residency applications for states with abortion bans fell by 2% from 2022 to the 2023 match cycle, virtually all OB-GYN residency spots were filled the year immediately following the <em>Dobbs<\/em> decision,&rdquo; she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>And when it comes to labor and delivery wards closing, it is often happening in rural communities where there are fewer people and fewer births.

Vice President Kamala Harris has boosted Democratic confidence in retaining North Carolina, a state that typically leans blue in presidential elections but seemed to be leaning toward former President Donald Trump during his campaign against President Joe Biden. <\/p>\n<p>Throughout much of the 2024 election cycle, North Carolina has been viewed as a marginal battleground\u2014a state that often favors Republicans at local levels while still electing Democratic governors and casting Electoral College votes for Democrats. With popular Governor Roy Cooper (D-NC) term-limited and controversial Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson running to succeed him, Republicans are optimistic about their chances to gain control of state leadership.<\/p>\n<p>As part of our Battleground Ballots series, White House Reporter Christian Datoc provided essential insights into this competitive landscape. Beyond being a swing state filled with undecided voters, North Carolina holds significant importance for both major presidential campaigns; how voters perceive them now could influence their electoral outcomes. Many voters plan to wait until after the first presidential debate on September 10 or even until Election Day on November 5 to cast their ballots; however, mail-in ballots will start going out this Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike in 2020, Republicans are less anxious about mail-in voting in North Carolina and have embraced it by encouraging absentee and early voting among supporters. Their frustration lies with what they see as inadequate efforts by the state&#8217;s Board of Elections to maintain clean voter rolls and ensure only eligible citizens are registering and voting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despite attempts to enhance election security since last year&#8217;s general election, the North Carolina State Board of Elections has faced six lawsuits over just 40 days,&#8221; Christian reported. The Republican National Committee recently sued the board for failing to verify questionnaires meant to identify noncitizen registrants and sought removal of approximately 200,000 voters from registration lists.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The NCSBE has once again failed its duty by allowing noncitizens on voter rolls\u2014this undermines trust in our elections,&#8221; stated RNC Chairman Michael Whatley. &#8220;Neglecting legal obligations right before such a crucial election is unacceptable.&#8221; Meanwhile, Democratic organizations like NAACP continue their long-standing battle against voter ID laws in court.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who recently withdrew from his presidential run but endorsed Trump afterward, is embroiled in disputes regarding his name remaining on ballots after he managed to qualify through his We The People Party\u2014his presence could potentially siphon votes away from Trump.<\/p>\n<p>In another topic covered today: Following Roe v Wade&#8217;s reversal two years ago\u2014which raised concerns about diminishing numbers of obstetricians\/gynecologists (OB-GYNs) due partly to abortion bans\u2014a new study suggests that structural issues within medical education may be contributing more significantly than any recent anti-abortion legislation.<\/p>\n<p>While there\u2019s been a decline in OB-GYN students alongside some labor wards closing down\u2014especially in rural areas\u2014the reasons appear complex rather than solely linked back directly to abortion restrictions according Gabrielle Etzel\u2019s report today.<\/p>\n<p>Although medical school enrollment overall is rising\u2014including among OB-GYNs\u2014the number of residency spots available post-graduation remains insufficient; applications for residency programs located within states enforcing abortion bans dropped slightly yet nearly all positions were filled following Dobbs&#8217; ruling last year.<\/p>\n<p>The trend shows fewer births occurring nationwide too\u2014with only around 3.6 million babies born last year compared with peaks seen earlier this century according CDC data shared by Gabrielle.<\/p>\n<p>For further details regarding these developments across various sectors including politics &amp; healthcare read more here!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2702,"featured_media":2336424,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/voter-registration.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[37860,40043,32076],"class_list":["post-2336423","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-doctor-shortage","tag-tar-heel-state","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/voter-registration.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2702"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2336423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2336424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2336423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2336423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2336423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
