I am getting Burr a shoe in. Pantano winning in the local paper results but not the NC elections site.

Dem counties must be reporting first. Pantano was up in the polls.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Burr is a winner and looks good for Pantano-7

Dem pollsters PPP believe we will pick up both chambers of the state legislature.

That's been pretty clear for quite a while now.

I'm hoping to see Bert Jones hold on in his race.

Ellmers is pulling ahead of Etheridge now. Finally, some good news out of NC. Up by about 2,000 votes.

Quote from article:

Probably the biggest prize for the GOP was the North Carolina legislature, where Democrats had used convoluted map lines to enshrine Congressional majorities and their own legislative majorities for decades. Unlike most states, North Carolina excludes the governor from the redistricting process. The three conservative Democrats who hung on this year will probably find themselves in much worse seats in the next cycle.

NC 12

North Carolina may be the most egregiously gerrymandered state. NC12 is an example. The democRATs typically win 55% 45%. The couple of Republicans who win are 75% 25%.

The egregiously gerrymandering which has denied the will of the people for a very long time will soon change. Republicans control the NC state house and senate for the first time in 112 years!
