Ten North Carolina Republican State Senators have introduced S150, to establish a presidential primary on the first Tuesday of February. If the bill passed, North Carolina would continue to have its primary for other office in May.
North Carolina held its presidential primary in May, in the past, except that in 1976 and 1988 it held it in March.
North Carolina held its 1976 presidential primary in March (March 23) and went with the rest of the southern states during the Southern Super Tuesday on March 8, 1988.
Thank you for this correction. I fixed the post.
