Episode: North Carolina's ballot measure history
Description: On this episode: In this installment of our monthly ballot measure series, Geoff Pallay and Victoria Rose trace the history of North Carolina’s statewide ballot measures—from 19th-century amendments on slavery and segregation to recent court battles over voter ID laws. They explore why the state has never adopted a citizen initiative process, how its high legislative referral pass rate compares to other states, and what these votes reveal about shifting political power and constitutional change in the Tar Heel State.Explore North Carolina’s History: https://ballotpedia.org/North_Carolina_Ballot_Measures:_Histor...
