Purple Ballot: North Carolina’s history of “ticket splitting”
We’ve been calling our politics series this year “Purple Ballot.” That’s because North Carolina is largely a purple state, a swing state with similar numbers of Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated voters. And our state has an interesting history of “ticket splitting” – the purplest of purple ballots – where a voter selects candidates from opposing political parties. We take a closer look at this interesting trend.
