This Week in Statehouse Action: Tricks, Treats, and Things Left Undead edition

Nov. 7 ballot things that aren't Virginia (Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire), plus North Carolina is still being awful

Spookier than any Halloween prank is the fact that the Nov. 7 elections are just over a week away.

(This is the time of year my normal internal monologue is replaced by the green news alien from Futurama screaming DOOOOOOOOOOOM over and over. So that’s fun.)

But knowledge is a pretty solid way to fight fear, and while my own has no rational basis and therefore cannot be alleviated, I can at least channel that terror energy into keeping my dear readers up to date on various statehouse goings-on and stuff that will be on the ballot in some states in [[gulp]] 10 days.
