Emerson North Carolina poll I suspect that, because of partisanship, Stein will win by a lot less than he ought given his awful opponent. Still, it's possible undecideds break for him. |

One story here that has not been mentioned in this forum yet is how blatant gerrymandering of North Carolina's federal congressional districts by the state legislature has given the Republicans an extra 4 seats (notionally) in a state with only 14 congressional districts and how it could now be enough to determine control of the US House of Representatives this year. In 2022 the Democrats and the Republicans split the North Carolinian seats 7-7; this year the margin is set to be 11-3 in the Republicans' favour.

Losing the state Supreme Court in 2022 was a bit of a blow for Democrats on that front. However, there's no supermajority in the state legislature now. Republicans couldn't gerrymander the governor election, and they won't be able to gerrymander the Senate seat in 2026 so that should be a fair fight between Them Tillis and Roy Cooper. In good years for Democrats like 2008, it can be in play and indeed Democrats won it in 2008 with Kay Hagan defeating Elizabeth Dole. |

On November 5, Kevin Hayes, the Constitution Party nominee for U.S. House in North Carolina’s Sixth District, received 103,053 votes, or 30.77%, in a two-race with a Republican.
This is the highest percentage for a minor party or independent candidate for U.S. House in North Carolina since 1900, when John E. Fowler, the Peoples’ Party nominee in the Third District, received 46.2%. That was also a two-way race.
Hayes received more votes, and a higher percentage of the vote, than any other Constitution Party nominee for U.S. House in the party’s history. The party’s previous percentage record for a U.S. House race had been 16.96% in a two-race in Alabama’s First District in 2010. The party’s best showing for U.S. House, as to the number of votes, had been Jaymn Germond’s 43,133 vote total in 2008 in Oregon’s Fourth District.

Lots of Raleigh left to count. Democrats should hold their SC seat.
Basically every statewide race going Democratic. With the exception of the Presidency.
