Podcast appearances and mentions of michael bitzer

On this week's episode, host Tim Boyum and his guests discuss a recent study on the state of North Carolina elections.  Low faith and trust in elections is widespread, but North Carolina's elections are more successful than many other states, according to a study from cross-partisan organization North Carolina Fair Safe and Secure Elections. "One big takeaway we have is that early voting is working really well in North Carolina by any metric," Dr. Chris Cooper, from Western Carolina University, said.  Cooper and Dr. Michael Bitzer, from Catawba College, are members of the group that conducted and released the study. They join Tim to break down everything from the initial registration process, to rallies and challenges following the election.

Just days before election day, host Tim Boyum talks with two experts about the early voting numbers we are seeing and what it might mean in terms of momentum for one candidate or the other.  Republicans are seeing higher numbers, but are they new voters or just voters that previously voted on election day? Dr. Michael Bitzer, from Catawba College, and Dr. Chris Cooper, from Western Carolina University, have been analyzing the data. They break it all down in these crucial last days of candidates' campaigns.

This episode is part of Eye on the Triangle's special series called "Politics Unpacked: Elections 2024 Edition," in which we interview NC political analysts and political science professors.  In this episode, host Emilia Rivadeneira talks with political analysts Chris Cooper and Michael Bitzer to explore North Carolina's electoral landscape. They tackle questions ranging from whether North Carolina is truly a purple state to potential outcomes of the upcoming presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

The prohockeypod was happy to have Michael Bitzer join the podcast this week. Michael is currently playing goal for the Selber Wölfe in the DEL2. Michael was kind enough to share details on his journey from achieving a D1 scholarship to attaining a German Passport to play hockey in Germany. Bitzy is a student of the game constantly trying to improve his knowledge and I believe this is a big reason why he has been able to always find a successful path in hockey. He shared some great advice on how to be at your best and keep your mind relaxed, which I believe is very important for professional athletes. Hope you enjoy.

Lawyers representing sides in a closely watched North Carolina case make arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court today. Moore v. Harper focuses on who has the authority to set when and how elections are conducted. Some legal experts say it could fundamentally change American democracy. WRAL Capitol Bureau Chief Laura Leslie, who will be in Washington, and Michael Bitzer, the author of “Redistricting and Gerrymandering in North Carolina: Battlelines in the Tar Heel State,” discuss what they'll be listening for.

While Republicans did not do as well as they wanted nationally, they did better than average in North Carolina winning the U.S. Senate race and sweeping both state Supreme Court seats. For years, we've heard North Carolina is a purple state politically, meaning it's even and a battleground. But is that true?  The dynamics and details beyond the headline are fascinating and we are talking with two of the premiere political scientists who are studying it and publishing articles on the issues. Our guests this week are Catawba College's Dr. Michael Bitzer and Western Carolina University's Dr. Chris Cooper

After a three-judge panel ruled to allow Republican-drawn legislative and congressional maps, political campaigns, lawyers, and scholars are watching the Supreme Court of North Carolina. "I would expect that they would push this as an expedited review and potential decision," Dr. Michael Bitzer, professor of politics at Catawba College, said.   All of this and more on this episode of Flashpoint, only on WCNC Charlotte.

This week on Flashpoint, WCNC Charlotte's Ben Thompson speaks with Catawba College political science professor, Dr. Michael Bitzer about the NC primary being delayed.

This week on Flashpoint, we're looking ahead to 2022. That's when North Carolina will vote for a new U.S. Senator to represent citizens in Washington, and the race is heating up more than a year out. Dr. Michael Bitzer joins Ben Thompson for this week's episode. Bitzer is a professor of politics at Catawba College, and he says senatorial races in North Carolina draw a lot of national attention already, but a member of the Trump family possibly throwing her name in could shake things up.   Bitzer is also taking the temperature of the GOP, particularly involving anything with Liz Cheney. Cheney was one of only a handful of Republican legislators to vote in favor of impeaching former President Trump following the storming of Capitol Hill earlier in the year, and since then she's faced vitriol from the largely pro-Trump wing of the party at both the federal and state levels.   PLUS: WCNC Charlotte's Hunter Saenz paid attention to the latest information on COVID-19 in Mecklenburg County, and this week health leaders revealed they're planning for the long run in dealing with the virus. He breaks down the county's plans for staffing and making use of government funds as they plan for three years of virus response.   Get the latest Flashpoint episodes each week by subscribing wherever you listen to podcasts, and check out more about this story and more online: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/politics/flashpoint/2022-north-carolina-senate-campaign-battleground-state-preview-michael-bitzer/275-d5d931af-9da3-44ce-a80e-7937ed5119c3

We're now less than 3 days away from Election Day 2020 and the stakes couldn't be higher. Now that early voting has wrapped up, it's down to in-person voting and any remaining absentee ballots that will come through the mail.    Ben Thompson is joined by Catawba College political science professor, Dr. Michael Bitzer, who breaks down voter turnout, record early voting and what we can expect after the election and why we won't have the "official" results for several days or weeks.  Then we're joined by Winthrop University's Dr. Scott Huffmon, who has the inside track on the South Carolina Senate race between Lindsey Graham and Jaime Harrison. Dr. Huffmon also tells us what we can expect in South Carolina during the overall election.  Dr. Susan Roberts, a political science professor at Davidson College, also joins the show to discuss the tight Senate race between Republican Thom Tillis and Democratic challenger Cal Cunningham. Dr. Roberts also analyzes the race for North Carolina governor and a general outlook on North Carolina politics heading into the contentious election. All this, plus Ben has some Election Day tips before you head to the polls and cast a ballot. 

We're less than a month away from the 2020 election and all eyes are on North Carolina, where President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden are focusing their campaigns. But it goes far beyond the state level, with campaigns going so far as to target specific neighborhoods. Ben Thompson is joined by Michael Dickerson, the head of the Mecklenburg County Board of Elections, as they gear up for a busy early voting period and expected heavy voter turnout November 3.    Plus, we hear from three election experts who tell us how to protect your vote and keep your ballot legitimate if you plan to vote absentee. Then, Dr. Michael Bitzer, a political science professor at Catawba College, joins the FlashPoint to break down just how competitive North Carolina is and he explains why the Tar Heel State is a microcosm of what we're seeing across the country when it comes to partisan alignment. Finally, an election attorney joins Ben to tell us why it could be mid-December before the presidential election results are finalized and we have a winner. And based on his experience with the infamous Florida recount of 2000, what we see in 2020 could make that a walk in the park.

It's finally here. The 2020 Republican National Convention has rolled into Charlotte and the 2020 presidential election is on! On this week's show, Ben Thompson is joined by Charlotte City Council members Larken Egleston and Tariq Bokhari to discuss the RNC and what it will look like compared to the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee. Then, Egleston and Bokhari discuss multiple ethics complaints against Charlotte City Council members, including Bokhari himself.    In our third segment, Catawba College political science professor Michael Bitzer analyzes the DNC, breaks down what it's like to teach during a pandemic and updates the influx of absentee ballot requests in North Carolina. Bitzer's analysis really drives home the point on how the Postal Service controversy could help swing the election in many states.   

As North Carolina prepares for the 2020 election, the state has received well over 100,000 requests for mail-in ballots. That is five times where we were this same time in 2016. To discuss the tremendous increase across North Carolina, we're joined by Catawba College political science professor Dr. Michael Bitzer. Bitzer digs into the data and tells Ben Thompson why the 2020 election could be determined by the U.S. Postal Service. Plus, Ben is joined by former Charlotte City Council Member LaWana Mayfield and former North Carolina Rep. Charles Jeter. Mayfield and Jeter discuss absentee voting and if Democrats are a little too cocky after early polls show a "blue wave" heading for the Tar Heel State. White House officials remain split on whether President Trump will actually be in Charlotte for the Republican National Convention. Ben tells us he's not convinced Trump will arrive in the Queen City. What about the panelists? 

On this week's episode of Tying It Together with Tim Boyum, we take a look at the South’s role in the 2020 elections.  The death of George Floyd and demands for social justice have brought issues of racism and history back to the forefront with the South playing a starring role.  We talk with three experts on southern politics and history about how we define the South, get an explanation of the old Southern strategy, and what strategy we will see this fall.  Dr. Michael Bitzer from Catawba College, Dr. Susan Roberts from Davidson College, and Dr. Chris Cooper from Western Carolina University will give us their insight on the past and how the South could play a huge role in the 2020 election.   JOIN THE CONVERSATION Do you have any thoughts or questions for Tim?

We will discuss North Carolina politics and more with Michael Bitzer.

FILE (AP Photo/Chuck Burton) This week on Carolina Curious, we take a look at what makes the Tar Heel state so purple. Listener Kennette Thomas asks: “Why is it that historically it seems as if North Carolinians will often elect a Democrat for the position of governor but then elect a majority Republican house?” Catawba College political scientist Michael Bitzer tells WFDD’s David Ford it’s a classic case of “divided government.” Interview Highlights On divided elections: South Carolina is a very Republican state. And so, you're going to have the Republicans control the legislature and governor's mansion. That’s unified party government. North Carolina has typically tended to see very divided elections. In 2000 and 2004, for example, George W. Bush won this state, but then a Democrat, Mike Easley, won the governorship. And there we're talking about ticket-splitting voters willing to vote for one party at one level of political office and then another party for another level. Now, here in North Carolina, it's been since 2010 that the Republicans have been able to control the state legislature through gerrymandering. So, a lot of us would look at that and say the maps for the legislature are very much pro-Republican. But in most recent times, particularly with Roy Cooper's election in 2016, a Democrat was elected to the governorship. So, North Carolina has kind of what I would almost term a bipolar political habit in terms of being very willing to vote for the individuals at times rather than the political parties. But over recent elections, we've been seeing that party loyalty really tightened up, and I think we’re in a new North Carolina. Is North Carolina still considered a purple state? I think it still applies to North Carolina. I think we will see the statewide races really decided probably by less than five percentage points. Remember that Barack Obama in 2008 won with less than half a percentage point. Mitt Romney in 2012 won by two percentage points. And Donald Trump won with about three and a half percent. So, if any statewide official wins with more than I would say five percentage points, that's almost considered a landslide. And I think North Carolina is kind of indicative of some national trends. We're a very competitive state when you talk about the statewide races. When you get down into the congressional level and the state legislative level and the districts, that's much more of, well, one party is going to control a district over another party.  On the history of North Carolina politics: If you go back to the beginning of the 20th century, it was solid Democratic control and that was part of the solid Democratic South. By the time you get to the late 1960s, early 1970s, the Republican Party begins to become very competitive. North Carolina elects Holshouser as the first Republican governor since Reconstruction. And so, we enter a kind of competitiveness in North Carolina from the 1970s up through the 2000s, where North Carolina would vote Republican at the presidential level, but Democratic particularly at the gubernatorial level. By 2008 and 2010's elections, I really look at those elections as kind of being the new North Carolina. It's competitive. Races are decided by very few percentage points, and this is just, I think, the norm for us moving forward in North Carolina politics.  EDITOR'S NOTE: This transcript was lightly edited for clarity.

File photo. PAUL GARBER/WFDD With primary season in full swing, WFDD listener Julie Coulter has voting security on her mind.  She asks, “Which is the safest way to vote to make sure that my vote is counted: early voting, absentee, or voting Election Day at my local precinct?” WFDD’s David Ford set out for answers on this edition of Carolina Curious. He spoke with Catawba College political scientist Michael Bitzer.  Interview Highlights On the upsides of early voting: With absentee by mail ballots, you know, there's the concern about the ballot coming in, you filling it out correctly, and then mailing it back and making sure that that's all done within a proper amount of time. If you go absentee one-stop or in-person voting, you basically just walk in, get your ballot, you fill it out, you turn it in and you're done just like you would do on Election Day. Now, the beauty of North Carolina is that all of this information about who is requesting absentee by mail and doing one-stop voting is publicly available. So, you can check on the North Carolina State Board of Elections website to see if indeed your ballot was submitted, it was accepted, and that ballot is basically part of the elections and the votes that will be tabulated on Election Day. North Carolinians have really taken to this in the general elections. In fact, in 2016, two thirds of all the ballots cast in the presidential election for November of 2016 came before Election Day.  On the concerns over election interference and ballot tampering:  I think certainly after the 2018 debacle with absentee by mail ballots in the North Carolina 9th Congressional District and the allegations of vote tampering by individuals, I think North Carolinians are much more concerned about that issue. Really, they shouldn't be, though, if they cast their ballots in person and then go on the North Carolina State Board of Elections website and can type in their name and see that indeed that ballot was submitted and accepted.  On the mood of North Carolina voters ahead of Super Tuesday: I have been tracking the early votes in North Carolina for the March 3rd primary. And they're coming in, but at a kind of slow pace. And I think on the Democratic side, this is to be expected because the field is still so muddy. Yes, we've had two primaries and caucuses. We've got two more coming up before we cast our ballots on Super Tuesday. But I think for North Carolina Democrats and those unaffiliateds who want to vote in the Democratic primary, it really is a watch and see. So, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw the bulk of the ballots for March 3rd come in on Election Day.
