HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. — A local North Carolina Republican Party office building burned when authorities say a flammable device was thrown through a window is re-opening in a new location just days before Election Day.
Republican Party leaders planned an open house Wednesday morning at the Orange County GOP office in Hillsborough. The location is a few hundred yards away from the location that investigators say was firebombed a couple of weekends ago.
No one was injured and no arrests have been made. Leaders in both major political parties condemned the attack as a threat to democracy.
