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

Will NC get a snowy winter? Here's what one state forecast says

The question isn’t whether this year’s winter will have an El Niño pattern. It’s a matter of whether it will be the strongest on record. “The consequences for North Carolina are plentiful, with a pattern change in the cards that could ease our long-running drought, but that could also see more frequent flooding, erosion and coastal overwash ,” according to the North Carolina Climate Office’s winter outlook. A record El Niño puts North Carolina “in uncharted waters,” but it’s likely the state will see more rain and precipitation, with some of the past strongest El Niños producing some of North Carolina’s wettest winters. But that doesn’t necessarily mean snow. “For one, thanks to broader warming trends in our climate, consistently cool weather has been hard to come by in recent years,” according to the Climate Office’s outlook. “In fact, 13 of our past 15 winters have been warmer than the 20th-century average.” The State Climate Office is forecasting “overall above-normal temperatures” and “fewer wintry events and less snowfall.” Snow lovers in western North Carolina may have the best chances of “big snow events.” “From the Triad and Charlotte eastward, the chances of significant snow are lower , and wintry events
