If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.
Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. Weβd chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Also, I'm gonna be posting one statewide map (and the interactive version of each so i guess two maps?) a day for the next two weeks, so if you're interested in that, consider following!

Sorry if this seems rushed, it's because I was in a hurry when I wrote this. Follow, like, reskeet, sell your soul, all the things. Cheers :)
However, Forsyth County, which has a precinct where Ryan Binkley and Donald Trump tied, does not, meaning no statistical noise is added to the precincts. Shoutout to Ryan Binkley's strongest solider in Winston-Salem, I guess.
A month later, the NCSBE release the "Precinct Sort", which does just this, but adds in some statistical noise, for legal reasons.
Durham and Mecklenburg counties, the two counties with Hutchinson precincts, rely on the Precinct Sort.
The North Carolina State Board of Elections leaves it up to the counties to allocate their absentees into their precincts, which some do, and others don't.
** Now, I'm sure how you want to know how Asa Hutchinson of all people, who dropped out 49 days prior to the North Carolina primary. Well the truth is, he likely didn't.
Going into Super Tuesday, she had won just a single contest, the District of Columbia primary, and North Carolina wouldn't be her lucky break. She failed to gain any real support outside urban centers, which she didn't even win in a landslide.
She failed to qualify for the Nevada caucus, and lost to "None of These Candidates" in the unofficial, non-binding Nevada primary. Her failure to win her home state of South Carolina was the nail in the coffin.
Nikki Haley's campaign struggled to ever get off the ground. Coming third in Iowa, and winning just a single county in New Hampshire was just the beginning of her struggles.
