Deborah Ross, the Democratic senatorial candidate in North Carolina, proclaimed in a recent interview that residents of some parts of the state have worse broadband availability than residents of Ramallah in the West Bank.

Ross, who is running to unseat GOP Sen. Richard Burr, made the remark to the editorial board of the Charlotte Observer Wednesday while discussing infrastructure that needs to be revamped in the state, all the while hitting the incumbent Republican for inaction on the issue.
