With early voting underway in North Carolina's crucial battleground election, state elections executive director Karen Brinson Bell joins host Tim Boyum this week to talk about the storm's impact on western North Carolina elections. She'll also discuss what we can expect if races get close. It comes as Gov. Cooper visited Asheville earlier in the week to reiterate to residents that everyone's voice will be heard in this year's election.

Bell tells some incredible stories about the lengths these counties are going to make sure people can vote, county directors losing their own homes, and another gentleman walking four miles just to get to work.

Later, they talk about new photo ID requirements and what might happen if the top races are close. This is a must-listen, especially with the election just two weeks away.
