​A threat to democracy? Only Biden will appear on North Carolina primary ballot — a luxury not afforded to Trump in 2020

When North Carolina Democrats head to the polls on March 5 to cast their primary votes, President Joe Biden's name will be the only Democrat on the ticket.

On Tuesday, the North Carolina State Board of Elections unanimously voted to approve the North Carolina Democratic Party's request that Biden be the only Democrat listed on the primary ballot.

Under North Carolina law, state political parties must submit a list of candidates for their primary ballot within three months of the primary election.

"The list must be comprised of candidates whose candidacy is generally advocated and recognized in the news media throughout the United States or in North Carolina," the law states.
