Democratic challenger grabs lead over incumbent in coastal NC congressional race

Republican U.S. Rep. Greg Murphy, who clung to a razor-thin lead on election night, is trailing after provisional ballots tipped the race in favor of Democrat Raymond Smith Jr. Murphy, a Greenville physician, has represented the 3rd District in Eastern North Carolina since 2019. Smith is a former state representative and Army veteran. As of Monday, six days after the Nov. 3 election, Murphy led Smith by 233 votes, or 0.1%. After provisional ballots were tallied as of around 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Smith gained a narrow lead of 293 votes, or 0.12%. Provisional ballots are cast when a voter’s eligibility can’t be confirmed at the polls and are counted only after county election officials verify that eligibility. The margin between Murphy and Smith was well within the 1% margin that allows the trailing candidate to request a recount. The candidates could also file formal challenges if they believe the vote count includes ineligible voters. Democrats will hold a majority of North Carolina’s congressional delegation for the first time since 2013, when the delegation was split 7-6 in their favor. Republicans took control after the 2012 elections under maps newly drawn by the GOP-led legislature. The GOP has led multiple

NASA confirms sightings of fireball above NC-TN border

NASA confirmed sightings of a meteor seen above Tennessee and North Carolina at the beginning of November. The report from NASA comes several days after the object was first reported, with many sharing photos and videos on social media of the object captured at around 7:45 p.m. on Nov. 5. NASA has now confirmed that the object was a small piece of an asteroid, which disintegrated above Tennessee, just south of Chattanooga. While there is an active meteor shower occurring, NASA added that the meteor was unrelated to it. Here's everything we know. North Carolina Tennessee fireball: NASA meteor statement NASA confirmed that it used its sky cameras at the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, Georgia; Huntsville, Alabama; Tullahoma, Tennessee; and a site near the Tennessee-North Carolina border to analyze the fireball, as well as social media photos from eyewitnesses. The statement noted that the object was first spotted 53 miles above Robbinsville, moving "a little south of west at 47,000 miles per hour" before disintegrating at an altitude of 25 miles above East Ridge, Tennessee. .oembed-frame { width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; border: 0; } What was that bright light in the sky?

You voted for lower prices. How might this election actually affect your wallet?

The reason many North Carolinians went to the polls was to voice their thoughts on President Donald Trump and the actions his administration has taken since he returned to office, News & Observer reporters learned after speaking with voters. Tariffs Trump has implemented have driven up the costs of imported goods. And the war in Iran he brought the U.S. into led to a spike in oil prices and the prices drivers pay at the pump. In North Carolina, the cost of regular gas surpassed $4 a gallon in early October. This time last year, it was about $2.81. But North Carolinians didn’t just vote for — or against — a candidate or party. They approved three constitutional amendments , including two that affect taxes. One amendment sets the state income tax rate cap at 3.5%. The other requires lawmakers to pass a bill limiting property tax increases by local governments, though the amendment did not specify an amount. How income tax rate caps could affect your wallet Capping the income tax rate might seem attractive to voters whose budgets are being squeezed as prices rise and wages stagnate. But Alexandra Forter Sirota, executive director of the NC Budget and

Why NC public schools close on Veterans Day while some neighbors stay open

Veterans Day is a required school holiday for North Carolina’s 1.5 million public school students, but students in some neighboring states will have a regular school day Wednesday. A longstanding state law makes North Carolina’s approach different from Virginia and South Carolina. FULL STORY: Why public schools are closed on Veterans Day in NC, but not in some states Here are key takeaways: State law requires it. Veterans Day is the only holiday under North Carolina statute that requires public schools to close. Classes can be held on other holidays like Presidents’ Day and Memorial Day, though many districts schedule teacher workdays then. The law only applies to traditional-calendar schools, but charter schools usually also close on Veterans Day. No school on Sundays. State law also bars public schools from holding classes on Sundays. Neighboring states differ. Virginia and South Carolina allow classes on Veterans Day. South Carolina law requires at least one hour of instruction honoring veterans, with schools that close observing the holiday the next day. Observances still happen. North Carolina schools typically hold events honoring veterans around the holiday, and state law designates November as Veterans’ History Awareness Month. A large veteran population. North Carolina was home

Democrats' NC legislative gains could put PFAS oversight back in spotlight

While North Carolina Democrats digest their stunning success on Election Day that gave the party control of the N.C. House and touching distance of taking over the N.C. Senate, supporters are wondering what the changes in the state legislature will mean in practice. One of the issues top of mind for residents, and one that became a campaign issue in the bruising race between Sen. Michael Lee , R-New Hanover, and victorious Democratic challenger Jessica Bichler, was what the changes could mean for environmental enforcement − specifically when it comes to "forever chemicals." The StarNews first broke the story in 2017 of the chemical discharges into the Cape Fear, which serves as the primary drinking water supply for nearly 500,000 people in Southeastern North Carolina, that couldn't be filtered out by local utilities before the water reached homes and businesses. Since then, testing also has found extensive PFAS contamination in groundwater and the environment across the Cape Fear region. Formally known as per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, PFAS are manmade substances used in a range of products from medical devices to nonstick cookware that don't break down quickly − hence their name forever chemicals − and have been tied to a host
