AINews Summary
Last updatedSep 2, 2026
Ashley Bell is in the news as a candidate in a North Carolina race shaped by Republican-backed election changes and redistricting. Democrats and voting rights advocates say the new map and voting rules could weaken minority voting power and make the state’s only toss-up district harder for Democrats to win.
