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

'Historic bloodbath' for Republicans forces change at NC legislature

The startling gains for Democrats in North Carolina’s 2026 midterms, according to Michael Bitzer , were largely driven by dissatisfaction over Republican President Donald Trump. But what happens to North Carolina’s government in 2028, he believes, will largely be up to state legislators themselves. Bitzer, director of the Center for North Carolina Politics and Public Service at Catawba College, shared his analysis of the recent election during a Nov. 12 event hosted by the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce at The Restoration Asheville. Like most midterms, he said, 2026 could be considered a referendum on the president and his party. Yet the results were nearly unprecedented, he continued, calling them a “historic bloodbath” for Republicans. The last time midterm voters moved toward Democrats so strongly was 1974, following the resignation of Republican President Richard Nixon after the Watergate scandal. Voters in each of North Carolina’s 100 counties, noted Bitzer, supported Democratic Senator-Elect Roy Cooper more strongly this year than they backed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in 2024. Cooper ended up winning his race against Republican Michael Whatley by nearly 20 percentage points. The vote shares across all Democratic candidates in both state House and Senate elections were more than

12 North Carolina Restaurants That Know How To Make Biscuits And Gravy Right

One Asheville spot serves cathead biscuits, a name that comes from biscuits roughly as big as a cat’s head. That alone made me sit up a little straighter. Then I learned the same place lets you pick a gravy the way other cafes let you pick a muffin. Another kitchen in Charlotte never closes, so sausage gravy is on the table at 3 AM if you want it.
