Yesterday we saw the biggest voter turnout for a midterm election in North Carolina’s history amidst a growing political divide both locally and nationally.
This year’s elections held many key races, including 13 seats in the US House, 6 new amendments to our state constitution, 1 state supreme court seat, 50 state senate seats, and 120 state house seats.
With most of the votes now tallied, Democrats are seeing some marginal gains, winning 1 more Supreme Court seat, and breaking the Republicans’ 3-5ths “supermajority” power (which has allowed them to veto Democrat Governor Roy Cooper’s policies) in both the NC House and NC Senate.
Here are the complete results from North Carolina’s 2018 Midterm Elections;
