Election delays in 3 dozen NC cities gets final lawmaker OK
on June 15, 2021 at 12:57 am
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — More than 30 North Carolina towns and cities — Charlotte, Greensboro and Fayetteville among them — would have their local elections moved from the fall to early next year because of delays in census data in legislation given final General Assembly approval on Monday night. The Senate agreed 33-14 the changes made to its bill by the House, which also includes allowing Raleigh to move its elections permanently to even-numbered years starting in 2022. The late distribution of census population numbers means <a target="—blank" href="https://canons.sog.unc.edu/time-for-cities-counties-and-school-boards-to-redistrict-but-no-numbers/">municipalities</a> where residents of a particular district vote for a specific council seat won't have time to draw boundaries to reflect population changes for the usually scheduled fall elections. So the <a target="—blank" href="https://www.ncleg.gov/Sessions/2021/Bills/Senate/PDF/S722v5.pdf">legislation,</a> now heading to Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper's desk for consideration, tells these towns to complete the redistricting no later than Dec. 17. These municipalities would have elections on March 8, 2022 — the date for state and federal primaries. Some municipalities also would have additional elections in April or May. These communities would have the option to hold elections in 2021 for at-large offices like mayor if they wish. Raleigh also would otherwise be subject to the changes, except that city leaders asked that their elections be moved to November 2022, then remain in even-numbered years permanently. The other municipalities would revert to odd-numbered years after next year. But Sen. Warren Daniel, a Burke County Republican and bill sponsor asked colleagues to support the measure. But the language related to Raleigh elections, quickly added by House members last week, became a sticking point for the chamber’s Wake County senators. The five Wake senators voted against accepting the House changes. Senate Minority Leader Dan Blue, a Wake County Democrat, said the changes to the state's second largest city were significant and happening without adequate input from the public. The legislation would also end runoff in city elections, meaning the top vote-getter would be the winner no matter what percentage of the vote the person received. “We have to realize that elections are not about us. They're about the people who elect us,” said Blue, a former House speaker. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg and Lexington schools boards also would move their 2021 elections to November 2022 in the bill, but that change would not be permanent. Some voting-rights activists also had wanted some changes to the bill. Representatives of the Southern Coalition for Social Justice said earlier Monday they supported language to mandate more involvement by the public in forming the municipal districts.
Jane Austen family link to abolition movement comes to light
on June 15, 2021 at 12:11 am
LOS ANGELES (AP) — While Jane Austen admirers savor the wit and romance of “Pride and Prejudice” and her other enduring novels, scholars have long delved into Austen’s life and times. Among the previous discoveries: an 18th-century family connection to slavery. The effort to place Jane Austen in the social and political context of her day has yielded a new and contrasting discovery: That a favorite brother, Henry, was part of the 19th-century abolition movement. An Arizona State University professor unearthed Rev. Henry Thomas Austen’s attendance at the 1840 World Anti-Slavery Convention in London. Professor Devoney Looser calls him a “a next-generation Austen” publicly supporting abolition.
