20 North Carolina counties may lack direct representation
A Raleigh column notes several counties likely to lose direct representation in the 1967 legislature after redistricting and May primaries. It adds Rep Thurston Arledge of Polk and Rep Reuben Moore of Pender to a list of incumbents defeated, leaving Polk and Transylvania potentially unrepresented next year. The piece also corrects a previous misreport about Arledge and details shifts involving Cleveland, Gaston, and other districts.
