North Carolina officials had to activate emergency robocalls earlier today to correct voting misinformation from a radio station serving a western part of its state. AP's Lisa Dwyer reports. North Carolina's state board of elections says the WKYK based in Burnsville, North Carolina reported incorrectly that voting precincts had closed and that residents around Yancy County would have to vote instead at the county board of elections office.

She shared her reasoning on social media. It's all or nothing. The outcome. Less important than beating the other guy. The only political victories that matter these days are symbolic. Attacking your opponents on cable news or social media, compromise is a dirty word. We've arrived at that crossword and we chose anger and division.
