Voting rights rulings, ‘compelled speech’ and a bill deadline

Under the Dome

On the latest episode of Under the Dome, The News & Observer’s politics podcast, for the week of May 1, 2023, host and state Capitol bureau chief Dawn Vaughan discusses what’s happening in North Carolina politics with colleagues Luciana Perez Uribe Guinassi and Korie Dean.

Monday is busier than usual in the legislature, and a big reason is a deadline known as crossover on May 4, when most bills need to pass at least one chamber in order to move ahead in the current session.

Dean talks about the latest on bills dealing with “compelled speech” and university faculty tenure, and Perez Uribe and Vaughan give you a quick rundown of the three big N.C. Supreme Court decisions on Friday.

Host: Dawn Vaughan

Guests: Luciana Perez Uribe Guinassi and Korie Dean
