Only a couple hundred votes separated the two candidates in North Carolina’s last uncalled race for its state Senate, a seat that will determine whether Democrats take full control of the state government as part of a stunning sweep.
As of Wednesday afternoon, state Sen. Danny Britt (R) led Catina Hamm (D) by 228 votes, or 0.4 percentage points, which is within the range for a recount. Britt’s margin has thinned this week as election officials have reviewed provisional ballots.
Gov. Josh Stein (D) has been constrained by a state legislature that has been controlled by Republicans for 15 years. If Britt loses his seat, Republicans and Democrats would be evenly split in the state Senate, and a Democratic lieutenant governor would cast tiebreaking votes. Democrats flipped more than 20 seats in the midterms to win the state House.
Republicans received one of their worst drubbings in North Carolina, losing the U.S. Senate race by 20 percentage points and losing five U.S. House seats and, potentially, two more.
The deadline for North Carolina counties to certify their vote tallies is Friday. Local candidates who lost by less than one percentage point can request a recount by Tuesday.
Hamm and North Carolina Democrats have not said whether they would seek a recount. Britt told WRAL on Tuesday that he felt “confident that a recount changes nothing.”

Make note to self - buy more bullets.
I know Federal government types retiring to North Carolina.
It’s obvious the election was stolen. Trump had very high ratings among his base-now all of a sudden all the Republicans decided to vote for the Democrats all over the country ?!!! And if the Democrats wanted to win this election honestly, why did they run weak candidates -especially Negroes in a deep south and a black woman in Georgia -unless they knew the fix was in !
Wasn’t that the state that Biden didn’t send FEMA help a few years back when SC was hit by a hurricane? If so, why the hell are people voting for democrats?
We’ll never know for sure because no one will ever be allowed to look. If you haven’t even considered this has been a huge steal though, your trust in the system must be extremely high.
Done…
Some considering it a refuge from where we had to suffer for a long time. Not all are a negative
“. Britt’s margin has thinned this week as election officials have reviewed provisional ballots.”
The rats go to tool to steal the close ones. Every Britt is toast.
The same reason Jack Chitarelli lost in NJ….that was a heist. I’m not one for claiming elections were stolen as I despise excuses. But something isn’t adding up with this last election.
-3.8% GDP
-lowest recorded poverty level in history
-wages up
-inflation better than under Biden
-unemployment ticked down
- No illegals getting in
-Taxes lowered, regulations being cut,etc
-more people employed
This is exactly what he was voted in to do and the country voted in communists because the price of gas? I call total BS
Democrats cheat. It is that simple. Their takeover will result in a socialist style government for a short period of time and then the Muslim conquest will arrive.

But one important thing these communists have mastered and we haven’t….the propaganda. They own the schools, the media, Hollywood, hospitals, corporations,etc
Goebbels has nothing on these minions.
* lowest crime rate (all types) in 50 years (+/-)
* ended Iranian threat of nuclear holocaust
* gas prices settled back to well below Biden
* TRILLIONS of direct foreign investment in the USA
* a hundred thousand business-killing regulations swept away
* men OUT of womens’ sports
But TRUMP!! “Affordability”
BS, indeed. I’ve never seen such hogwash.
Add ... Democrats did little to aid the flood victims in Western NC a few years ago.
Vote again on the SAVE Act. Won’t pass but we gotta know who’s gotta go. Force a few ‘martyr’ retirements.
They’ll keep counting until the Democrat chick wins. Of course, the GOL would never think of demanding a recount in MS or Alaska.
They gonna switch to “ranked choice voting” ?
Less obvious is why the Trump admin sits on the alleged evidence of election stealing. Got a theory besides, 'it's not real'?
And he still does. His base is the 34% in Trump's 34% approval ratings.
It's the remainder of the 66% that don't like him, many of whom held their nose and voted for him in 2024 because they loathed Kamala Harris even more.
