WCNC Charlotte To Go

The REAL ID deadline is here.   Starting on Wednesday, May 7, Americans will need to have federally compliant identification to pass through airport security and access federal facilities.   Don’t have a REAL ID yet? You can still fly, for now, but expect extra screening at TSA. The Department of Homeland Security said on Tuesday that travelers without a REAL ID this week should be able to fly but should be prepared for extra scrutiny. Those without a REAL ID "may be diverted to a different line, have an extra step", the head of the DHS said Tuesday.  WCNC Charlotte To Go is a daily news and weather podcast you can listen to so you can start your day with news that impacts you from the team at WCNC Charlotte [https://www.wcnc.com/].   SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/morning-rush-powered-by-wake-up-charlotte-on-wcnc-charlotte/id1502142880] || Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/08oUt9p0iOgFsDzDZYA80U]|| Pandora [https://www.pandora.com/podcast/wakeupclt-to-go/PC:21545?source=stitcher-sunset] || TuneIn [http://tun.in/pjwej]|| Google Podcasts [https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly93Y25jbW9ybmluZ3J1c2gucG9kYmVhbi5jb20vZmVlZC54bWw&ved=0CAUQrrcFahcKEwiQqqX_2qLpAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQBQ] || iHeart [https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-wakeupclt-to-go-122772940/] All of WCNC Charlotte's podcasts are free and available for both streaming and download.

North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs would retain her seat on the state’s highest court under a new federal court order that said efforts to invalidate some absentee ballots are unconstitutional.
