On the side of TRIADWATCH there are links to each candidates web site from the President of the United States candidates,U.S. House candidates, North Carolina Governor candidates, all the way down to a very interesting local race in High Point between John Faircloth and Jim Corey.

If there are any websites that need to be updated please let TRIADWATCH know .

One of the most disturbing aspects of these districts is to see the high number of local politicians who have no opposition in this state some of this is due to the lovely word called gerrymandering.There is hope to change this process in the future one organization is trying to make a difference North Carolina Coalition for Lobbying and Government Reform CLICKHERE , they also have a section called restoring voter choice and accountability CLICKHERE . When the U.S. Census comes out with their numbers in a few years the process of gerrymandering will play out for all to see and the Party in power will manipulate to their advantage. Also BlueNC has a great article on this issue CLICKHERE , there you can see U.S. House of Representatives Mel Watt's gerrymandered district or just look above.
