Good morning! On this day in 2005, the U.S. Army commissioned 82nd Airborne Division troops from Pope Army Airfield at Fort Bragg, North Carolina to assist in maintaining law and order as Category 3 Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Louisiana.

Did you know Fort Bragg was renamed Fort Liberty on June 2, 2023? Find out why in the answer to today’s trivia question.

Parts of North Carolina will experience temps reaching 100° today. (We’re looking at you, Cary!) Stay hydrated and hang out in the shade if you venture outdoors.

We hope you enjoy today's edition of Flyover North Carolina. Hit reply and let us know which story you found most interesting.

RNC and NCGOP Sue Board of Elections, Again

The Republican National Committee and North Carolina Republican Party sued the State Board of Elections for failing to require identification to prove citizenship of approximately 225,000 voters.

The lawsuit is the Republicans’ second against the state BOE in five days, and it accuses the board of violating the Help America Vote Act.

The BOE says it changed the voter registration form to comply with HAVA, but Republicans charge that 225,000 people registered without the provisions required and were never contacted by the board.

Republicans have also opposed an Aug. 20 BOE party-line vote to approve the Mobile UNC One Card as an acceptable form of student voter identification, and they may bring litigation or draw up legislation to reverse that decision.

Report Released on Threatened Oceanfront Structures

The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Coastal Management and Cape Hatteras National Seashore released a report this week offering ideas for how to manage threatened oceanfront structures.

The report represents a year-long collaboration between local, state, and federal agencies.

Ideas include acquiring, relocating, or removing imminently threatened structures, along with funding a new state program dedicated to addressing threatened structures.

A Rodanthe home that floated away after Tropical Storm Debby’s storm surge collapsed its foundation has increased attention to threatened structures in storm-prone areas.

NC Colleges Get High Marks

Niche has named Duke University North Carolina’s best overall college and the country’s 13th in its 2025 rankings.

UNC-Chapel Hill took the state’s No. 2 spot, with Davidson at No. 3, Wake Forest at No. 4, and North Carolina State at No. 5. See the nationwide rankingshere.

The Princeton Review also released “The Best 390 Colleges: 2025 Edition” and lists schools in alphabetical order, rather than as rankings.

North Carolina schools making the list include Duke, UNC-CH, Wake Forest, Elon, NCSU, Davidson, Appalachian State, UNC-Wilmington, East Carolina, High Point, and 33 others.
