NEW: Top NC legislators earmarked $2.3 billion to private organizations without public discussion. People on both sides of the aisle are calling out the pork barrel, will candidates for State Auditor do anything about it? #ncpol #ncga 🧵1/4 theassemblync.com/politics/north…
With Durham & Pasquotank in, NC Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs leads by 106 votes after 5,538,460 votes cast. This is a difference 0.0019%. Five outstanding counties yet to report provisionals: Brunswick, Craven, Forsyth, Halifax and Sampson. theog.io/goto?url=https…
This was the state senate race with the thinnest margin before canvassing, if votes hold (there will almost certainly be a recount and challenges) Republicans will still retain a supermajority in the state senate 30-20 #ncpol
JUST IN: Rep. Terence Everitt has netted 139 votes in Wake County, giving him a 134-vote lead over Republican Ashlee Bryan Adams in #SD18.
We just brought a landmark civil rights case on how courts try to keep the public out of family separation proceedings. Much more soon.
"A Washington, DC-based civil rights organization is taking Durham officials to court—for keeping them out of court." Read more in this new article by @LenaRoseGeller in the @indyweek: bit.ly/3UPKkBN
Entering today, you'd rather be Republicans. Folks I've spoken with have felt Riggs could lose by 1,500 votes, which a recount wouldn't overturn. But provisional acceptance rates in Buncombe, Guilford, Wake, and Cumberland will make or break this. We shall soon see what happens.

Spoke with Gov. Cooper about this earlier today. NC lawmakers plan to override his veto on a voucher expansion bill next week. Cooper said they should let the veto stand and spend those dollars on Helene recovery instead. I asked NCGA leadership to respond; they did not. #ncpol
Western NC legislators should demand immediate state funding for Helene recovery - including small business and local gov grants - instead of billions of dollars for private school vouchers for the wealthy that hurt rural public schools and fund mostly urban counties. - RC

Greg Lindberg, a major N.C. political donor, has plead guilty to money laundering and fraud in a $2B insurance scheme, reports WRAL. The Assembly reported on Lindberg's legal troubles here: theassemblync.com/business/greg-…
SCOOP: NC legislators eyeing $830M for next Helene aid bill, per Sen. Bobby Hanig. Hanig cautioned those on a tourism call that “we don’t want to spend too much,” and that they expect Congress to do their share. #ncpol My latest for @NCNewsline: ncnewsline.com/2024/11/13/wes…
At Greensboro’s HBCUs, Persistence in the Face of Defeat Kamala Harris would have been the nation’s first president to graduate from an HBCU. Students say her loss won’t damper their political engagement. #NCPol #NCAT theassemblync.com/politics/hbcu-…

Texas Republicans on Tuesday filed bills that'd allow kids to sue drag performers; legalize covenant marriage; ban the state from funding health plans with gender therapy; and resurrect 2017's failed "bathroom bill." More from Day 1 of bill filing: texastribune.org/2024/11/12/tex…
“This has gotten ridiculous” -NCSBE spox to New Hanover County official in an email this morning. County leaders are appalled there are 1,750 outstanding uncounted absentee ballots received before Election Day. Could impact several local seats. #ncpol whqr.org/local/2024-11-…

NEW: Big update from the State Supreme Court race - where Dem. Allison Riggs is railing Rep. Jefferson Griffin by roughly 10K votes. Meck. County just finished mail ballots today. Riggs's lead from the county grew by 1,788 votes. That takes a big chunk from Griffin's lead.
mecklenburg county has never been the blue stronghold it could be, so i spent election day with charlotte democrats trying to change that. here's why it didn't work theassemblync.com/politics/elect…
Mecklenburg County is the largest Democratic stronghold in North Carolina, but Harris won 6,000 fewer votes yesterday than Biden did in 2020. @themhartman looks at what happened. theassemblync.com/politics/elect…
Like the state, New Hanover remains a mixed bag. State Sen. Lee (R) won comfortably in the region’s most expensive race. At the same time, county voters again picked a Democrat for president, the 2nd time in a row after choosing Rs since the 70s. theassemblync.com/politics/micha…
