FINAL (mostly) RESULTS FROM NORTH CAROLINA Hard to know where to begin. This was a generational election. Absolutely insane. The voter surge pushed the Republican gerrymander of North Carolina into dummymander territory, wreaking absolute havoc on the GOP's numbers. US SENATE: @RoyCooperNC by a mile. CONGRESS: Democrats flip 6 (!!) Congressional seats: NC-5, 6, 9, 11, 13, 14. NC delegation becomes 10D-4R. NC LEGISLATURE: Democrats flip 19 (!!) House seats, plus 1 Independent. 4 in the Senate. If the 1 Independent caucuses with @NCHouseDems, they will be at 71 seats in the NC House - just 1 shy of a supermajority. The NC Senate is now 26R-24D. Republicans are just 1 seat away from a full Democratic trifecta of North Carolina's state government. NC JUDICIAL: @Anita_Earls and all 3 Democratic Court of Appeals candidates crushed their races by wide margins. LOCAL: Democrats made large gains in local races all over the state. Totals are still being tabulated in some places, but Democrats flipped: - both the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners and School board - the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners, and the District Attorney's office - perennial Republican statewide candidate Jim O'Neil has finally been turned out of office - The Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners, where no Democrat has held any seat in 36 years - will now have a Democratic majority We will have a fuller accounting later. For now, it's bedtime. God bless the great state of North Carolina.
