“That’s right, 40% is Tillis’ magic number tonight.”
So basically the tea party faves split the vote and the GOPe candidate won.
Looks like R turnout a bit better than the RATs.
Areas will mean a lot. I’ve notice for example that Wake Cty is almost complete,
Durham very little reported, MECKLENBURG just over 30%. Some larger areas left
to go and I don’t know anything about the coast.
A spokesman from the NCSBE says initial numbers for precincts reporting were negatively affected by a “display error.”
“The underlying data remains valid and publicly available,” he told WBTV.
Results started to change around 8:40 p.m. on Tuesday night.
If we don’t force him into a runoff, I am seriously considering sitting out the cycle. This is the Rove hand at work, and McConnell’s infamous promise to “crush” us in every state. So disgusting that this troll Tillis could get elected. He thinks Obamacare is a ‘good idea’. How dumb to Republican voters in NC have to be?
Very depressed right now.
It has been called for Tillis.
I hope Hagan wins.
F the GOP
Somebody’s messin with the files. The Uniparty is united, don’t get depressed about the actual voters.
That's bunk. I don't know how popular you think those two are, but I can't imagine Palin being a positive in a general election in a two-time Obama state. As for Cruz, I doubt a significant portion of the Virginia electorate knows who he is.

Without Helms, they know practically nothing in NC.

Sleeper. Don’t get comfy here.
Look at what happened here. Now look at SC and KY. Both McConnell and Graham will win for the same reason. Tea Party vote split. GOPe gets the majority vote.
Makes me wonder ... initially all precincts were reporting as all votes having been tallied but turned out only the early voting numbers were tallied. Though as you typed; currently the vote tallies are reported as valid. Guess am suspicious, by nature, when glitches occur and false returns are seen at the beginning of ballot counting.

Too bad NC doesn’t have the 50% requirement we do here in TX.
Tillis would be forced into runoff, and the Brannon, Harris, Grant voters would take him out. The anti-Tillis vote is about 10K ahead of the Tillis vote. Smells like Chamber of Commerce and McConnell’s work.
Full agreement.
You're right, but do we truly have that many Tea Party candidates or are some there just to split the vote.
The Rove/Romney/Jeb Bush-endorsed NC carpetbagging transplant from Florida named Thom Tillis will get the necessary 40% to avoid a runoff. A monkey could run as a republican and beat Kay Hagan. She is that bad. I am a Tar Heel, but no longer live in the state. I I did I would have voted for a Tea Party candidate, probably Bannon. Tillis will be better than Hagan, but he’s another RINO. A filthy rich one at that. What person you know named Thomas abbreviates their name Thom instead of Tom. That proves he’s an arrogant jerk.
Same thing in Virginia. The establishment brings in their northern guy and back him to keep a real conservative from winning. Pretty pathetic how America is run by the turncoat european bankers
Real conservatives keep shooting themselves in the ass every time. Bannon, Harris and Grant, all backed by the various Tea Partys, are totaling more votes than the RINO, who will end up winning.
