Another NC congressional race just dipped into recount territory north of Charlotte

Another North Carolina Congressional race could be headed to a recount. Republican U.S. Rep. Pat Harrigan, who represents North Carolina’s 10th Congressional District, leads his Democratic challenger Ashley Bell by 2,485 votes as of Wednesday morning after new provisional ballots were counted. The district includes parts of Lincoln, Catawba, Iredell, Yadkin and Forsyth counties. That drops Harrigan’s lead to just 0.84 percentage points, within the margin for a recount under state law. County boards of election are scheduled to meet Friday morning for their canvass meetings. Once county boards meet, a losing candidate in a non-statewide race can demand a recount if the margin in the race “is 1% or less of the total votes cast in the contest,” according to the State Board of Elections. Bell alluded to the possibility of a recount in a thank you email to supporters Sunday. “I do think it is likely that once provisional ballots are counted we will move into recount availability,” she wrote at the time. “With that said, we will keep monitoring the situation. We won’t know the final count for several more days. If we do make it into recount territory, we will consider options at that time.” In

NC GOP to hold lame duck session before they lose control. Why Democrats urge caution

The North Carolina General Assembly is coming back for a post-election lame duck session next week. But what they’ll do, if anything, is still being decided. Democratic lawmakers, who benefited from the national blue tsunami on election night, would rather not see any action. But Republicans still control both the House and Senate, so they get to set the schedule until the end of the year. Democratic Gov. Josh Stein said Thursday he remains “unconvinced that it’s necessary.” Stein has had preliminary discussions about the session, but doesn’t have any clarity on what they could take up yet, he said. “If (legislators) come in, we need to make sure that we’re investing in things that are going to make a difference in people’s lives. We have to make sure that we are supporting law enforcement. We have to make sure we’re strengthening the economy. We have to continue investing in Western North Carolina,” Stein told The News & Observer as he spoke to reporters after an unrelated event at the Executive Mansion. “So we’re having these preliminary conversations with (Republicans). The fact that it’s unclear what they’re going to be working on tells you that this may not be the
