North Carolina voted out potentially 58 years of experience. What does that mean?

North Carolina voters decimated their current congressional delegation, electing at least seven new members to the next Congress, and potentially losing 58 years of collective experience. “Congress runs on seniority, and we just lost a lot of seniority from the North Carolina congressional delegation,” said Chris Cooper, a political science professor from Western Carolina University. From the best committee assignments to pork projects to offices on the Hill, losing senior members could have ripple effects for North Carolinians. But all is not lost. “The entire Congress runs based on a combination of majority party control and seniority,” Cooper said. “So North Carolina will once again be aligned with the majority.” North Carolina chose to swap seven House Republicans for seven House Democrats, as the left-leaning party took control of both chambers. “The majority of North Carolina’s congressional delegation will once again be aligned with the majority party control, but in terms of seniority, we will be much lower down the list,” Cooper said. “Sometimes freshmen can get impressive committee assignments. (Rep.) Chuck Edwards ended up on Appropriations in his first term in office, so it doesn’t mean that you can’t be effective, or you can’t get a good committee assignment.

Merrick's lead narrows in NC House race after provisional votes counted

The inclusion of provisional and absentee ballots has slimmed the margin in a tight race for N.C. House District 20 ahead of the official results. New Hanover County Board of Elections counted the additional 1,036 provisional and 90 absentee ballots on Nov. 10. Democrat Tim Merrick holds the lead with 22,160 votes at 50.09% of the electorate — 81 votes ahead of Republican Dane Scalise, who holds 22,079 votes, or 49.91%. Merrick initially led by 101 votes. The results are unofficial until the county canvass on Friday, Nov. 13. The race is eligible for a recount upon request from Scalise. Following the results on election night, Scalise declined to comment on a potential recount. According to the State Board of Elections, a candidate who did not win in a non-statewide contest can demand a recount if the difference between a winning candidate and the candidate demanding the recount is 1% or less of the total votes cast in the contest. Any mandatory recounts would be completed by county boards after the county canvass and should be completed prior to the state canvass.

Staff writer Zachary Huber (76-20) of the Times-News predicts the top eight games for this week in Western North Carolina. Game of the Week Reynolds (4-7) at No. 2 Asheville High (9-1) When : 7 p.m., Nov. 13 Quarterback Tay Williams threw for 227 yards and five touchdowns while completing 11 of 13 passes in Asheville High's 40-17 win over Reynolds in Week 8.

With another seat lost, NC Republicans' greedy gerrymander backfires more | Opinion

Last year, Republican lawmakers decided that, despite their best efforts, North Carolina just wasn’t gerrymandered enough. So they took it upon themselves to draw yet another map that would supposedly guarantee their party an additional congressional seat. The expectation was that, in the 2026 midterms, the map would yield an 11-3 majority. Well, that 11-3 majority did happen — just not in the way Republicans had hoped . As of Wednesday, North Carolina is poised to send 11 Democrats and three Republicans to Washington, a stunning collapse of one of the most aggressive gerrymanders in the entire nation . Provisional ballots tallied on Tuesday tipped the race in favor of Democrats in North Carolina’s 3rd Congressional District, making it the sixth Republican-held seat flipped in the midterms. Incumbent Greg Murphy conceded Wednesday after prematurely declaring victory a week prior. Provisional ballots also extended Chuck Hubbard’s lead over Virginia Foxx in the 5th Congressional District, though she has not conceded yet. What makes the collapse especially stunning is that nobody saw it coming. While some districts were targeted by national Democrats from the start and others became targets in the final weeks of the campaign , several of the seats Republicans
