• Advancing the primary so that North Carolina became a player in the presidential selection process worked, to the extent that a record 11 percent of the state’s registered voters took advantage of early voting, including one-stop voting, absentee balloting, and other voting by mail. That compares with 8 percent in the 2012 primary.
• Reminder: From 8 p.m. until 11 p.m. today, Carolina Journal Radio co-host Donna Martinez, state House Minority Leader Larry Hall, D-Durham, and I will provide primary results and coverage on the North Carolina News Network.
