Many areas of our county are still dealing with damage left behind after Hurricane Mathew. Yesterday, Governor McCroy spent some time in Bladen and Columbus counties.
One week remains for one of the longest, toughest, ugliest presidential campaigns, ever comes to an end.
Looking back, the range of voter turnout over the years is 59% to 70% in the years of presidential elections, and 37% to 52% in off years. Should point out the percentages are for the state of North Carolina.
I know many continue to check the results of presidential polls. FiveThirtyEight is an interesting site.
Have you voted? Some voters prefer early voting, others on the date of the General Election, this year Tuesday, November 8, a week from today. Either is fine, just vote for the candidates of your choice.
I prefer early voting, but dislike folks attempting to provide unwanted campaign material as I arrive at the voting site. I do not wait ’til I arrive at the polls to decide who I will vote for.
Kinda reminds me that ‘advice should be provided only when ask for, and then sparingly’.
Four years ago, 16,351 voters cast a ballot in the General Election in Bladen County.
Supporters of The Emerau:Bladen, a new Bladen County Charter School, will be holding an open house Friday and Saturday, November 4th & 5th at their office located at 118 West Broad Street in Elizabethown. Everyone is welcomed. The new school is slated to open in August 2017.
If you commit a crime in Bladen, chances of you getting caught are good. You can run, but you can’t hide. Yesterday, officials announced a local resident charged with a crime was arrested in Las Vegas. Apparently, his gamble did not pay off.
