Unofficial results:
Republican Ted Budd won the race for the U.S. Senate.
Our delegation to the U.S. House appears evenly split with 7 Democrats and 7 Republicans.
Republicans won the two seats up on the N.C. Supreme Court to now have a 5-2 majority. The N.C. Tribune notes that “likely won’t shift back to a Democratic majority until 2028 at the earliest.”

Here is the election results dashboard of the N.C. State Board of Elections.
We are working on the school board election results! Stay tuned.
