Unaffiliated voters drive early gains across Albemarle

Nearly 36% of North Carolina voters—roughly 2.8 million people—cast a ballot before early voting ended Saturday, a state record driven largely by unaffiliated voters and Democrats. That figure includes mail-in ballots. In the Albemarle region, the biggest jumps in early ballots came in Perquimans and Chowan counties, according to a comparison with 2022 general election data from the North Carolina State Board of Elections. Perquimans County saw a 30% increase in combined early and mail-in ballots compared with 2022, rising from 2,893 to 3,750. Early voting in Chowan County rose about 22%, from 3,451 to 4,207. “We are surprised with the enthusiasm of the voters,” Perquimans County Elections Director Henry House said in a brief interview Friday, adding that a third of the county had already voted ahead of Saturday’s deadline. Camden and Pasquotank counties also saw higher early turnout, but by smaller margins. Pasquotank ballots increased by about 7%, while Camden turnout grew by 11%. In all four counties, unaffiliated voters cast roughly a third or more of the ballots: 33% in Chowan, 36% in Perquimans and 33% in Pasquotank. Camden was the outlier, with unaffiliated voters casting 48% of its 2,551 ballots. By party, Democrats had the largest

Between Richmond And Norfolk Is A Virginia Archaeological Site With A Fascinating Museum And River Views

While colonial landmarks can be found up and down the East Coast, few states lay claim to as many well-preserved colonial sites as Virginia. For most, Williamsburg is likely the first to spring to mind; its restored buildings, horse-drawn carriages, and costumed historical interpreters have made it one of the most famous living museums in the nation, if not the world. But less than 10 miles southwest lies another of Virginia's colonial capitals that, unlike the cobblestone streets of Williamsburg, is buried mostly beneath the soil.
