BREAKING: It appears North Carolina Democrats will break the GOP supermajority in the #ncga. Unofficial results show incumbent Republican Ken Fontenot losing to Democrat Dante Pittman. Huge win for Democrats and governor-elect Josh Stein. #ncpol

Deleting posts about NC105 (Cotham vs Sidman) and NC98 (Helfrich vs Bales) because Mecklenburg County has not uploaded the in person Early Voting results. Election Day precinct results have been posted. This is unusual

Lawrence O'Donnell talks about millions of people in California who don't vote because of Electoral College But California swing districts will determine control of the House. If you're in CA & think your vote doesn't matter, please drop everything & go to the polls. Now

Still waiting on a lot of vote out of Mecklenburg County (Charlotte), especially the in-person early vote. County Board of Elections tells me they continue to upload results but there's a delay in them showing up on the state portal. #ncpol

Only 2/3rds of precincts reporting, but in NC House District 105, infamous "Republican" @triciacotham is currently losing her race to Democratic challenger @nicolefornc by about 2 points. Gap will probably grow.

Have you heard about #TrumpsProject2025? Every worker should know: it’s packed with pro-corporate policies that would threaten our health, drive up costs, and make it harder for workers to secure fair contracts.  betterinaunion.org/project-2…

Stunning allegations of wrongdoing at NC Republican gubernatorial hopeful Mark Robinson’s wife’s “nonprofit” including filing claims for federal money on behalf of other businesses that weren’t requesting federal money. #ncpol
