That could change but the Supreme Court could step in. Some could wind up voting twice. We have the best Political Team to lay it all out. What do we need to know . The one thing we are going to hear is vote march 15. The primaries are still going to go forward. We are all supposed to vote just like we always would have even for our congressional delegates and met is not to say it will count. You may have to go back to the polls in june to redo your vote. Today. The notion if the Supreme Court doesnt step in we will have this separate congressional primary june 7 two vote on who there will have to be a new filing. All of this goes to a federal court ruling that two congressional districts in the state were drawn predominantly using race. That is unconstitutional. The legislature remains maintains that was legal. They excluded race as a factor completely. That has democrats crying foul again because instead of using race they say republicans used voting data to draw the lines. The court sent them back to chair a racial gerrymander. The republicans remedied to a racial gerrymander is a partisan gerrymander. We have drawn without using rates. We did what they said. If the order was constitutional reporter all the primaries will be happening march 15. This only applies to the congressional race and the Supreme Court can step in and undo all of this until the primaries. Youve got that . It gets confusing. We will do our best to sort it for folks.

We have new congressional congressional primary but state Elections Officials tell us its important you go to the polls. It is important. Here is why. The president ial and legislative races are not affected. You still need to vote for your candidate of choice. You have to keep voting. Republicans are still at this moment hoping that u. S. Supreme court chief Justice John Roberts will change this. If he does issue this day your congressional votes will count. That is important for the 22,000 voters who have gotten absentee ballots and are sitting at home wondering whether they should the answer is yes. The state board says they will handle what happens next. Take a listen. There may be congressional races. We dont want voters to make that decision. They would count. Anchor if the state does not hear back from the Supreme Court you will need to go back to the polls and recap the ballots. Your votes based on these old maps will not count.
