Another North Carolina congressional race flips after provisional ballots, the UNC-Chapel Hill campus is divided over its recent Trump deal and a Harnett County charity owner chooses forgiveness. Here is what News & Observer readers are looking at on Nov. 11. Another NC Congressional seat flips to Democrats. Republican U.S. Rep.
