#BREAKING: In NC Supreme Court race, Griffin has wrongly accused at least 30 voters of never residing in NC, including 22 with a history of in-person voting. With court action imminent, I pulled an all-nighter to bring you this paywall-free story. #ncpol

In September, @TheAssemblyNC reported on inflammatory social media posts House candidate Shelly Headen made calling for violence against Republicans. Dems withdrew support for her, but she still won. Asked where she stands in party, Reives says, “She is a member of the caucus.”

Reives on likelihood of delivering on policy objectives given the likely GOP majority in the Senate. “Speaker Hall did an amazing job of working with us. I know that House Republicans are ready to work. … I have no idea about the Senate.” #ncpol

House Speaker-elect Robert Reives giving his first press conference following election. He says he’ll push for redistricting changes and consider unraveling 2023 budget provisions giving lawmakers the unilateral ability to sell, destroy or disclose records as they see fit. #ncpol

When NC lawmakers kick off a new session, one-fifth of members will enter Raleigh for the first time. #ncpol

Again #ncpol

Election upsets and flipped seats propelled Democrats to gain control in Congress and in the NC state House. What will Democrats do with their new power? We discuss at 9am with @dani__battaglia @BryanRAnderson and @profsuroberts wfae.org/show/charlotte…

North Carolina now represents a quarter of the nation's uncalled U.S. House races. Three contests in recount territory and one that is on the cusp of recount territory. #ncpol

We're also home to the country's two tightest races.

🛑 The voter history file has not been released in #ncpol & won't be for weeks

Anyone posting about the composition of the '26 electorate in NC is relying on either:
1) exit polls (which don't have party reg. & have 🤏 samples at county & CD levels)
2) early voting data
3) BS

More than three years later, former colleagues Tim Moore and Terence Everitt remain the bestest of friends. #ncpol

One of the less understood NC provisional ballots categories is "No Record of Registration" (NROR). This is when a prospective voter presents but the pollworker can't find the voter in the pollbook. This is usually because the voter is in fact NOT registered, and you can't y. Of the 34,782 2026 provisionals, 46% are NROR. Of the 26,022 2022 provisionals, 50% were NROR, but 1,120 (9%) WERE counted, usually because the pollworker could not find the voter in the pollbook, but the name was actually there, OR there may have been an error in processing a timely registration OR still in a queue from DMV. See image below for party and race stats on 2026 and 2022 NROR. In 2022, a plurality were registered Republican, in 2026 they were more than 2 to 1 Democratic. An interesting factoid, for any NROR not counted, the provisional form is also a voter registration, so the person will be registered for future elections. If 9% of the 16,021 NROR for 2026 are counted, the remaining 14,000+ not counted will become registered voters! #ncpol

AP has called #NC08 race for Republican Mark Harris. #ncpol

6 stories, 4 media hits, 3 newsletters, and four hours of sleep within a 60-hour period. Another election week in the books. #ncpol

Election observers appointed by Congress is not something I was aware of, but it's a real thing: cha.house.gov/election-obser… #ncpol

Rep. Virginia Foxx says "nonpartisan election observers under the guidance of the Committee on House Administration" will be present in NC-05 to oversee the counting of the last few ballots. Foxx trails Democrat Chuck Hubbard by 99 votes

House Democratic Leader Robert Reives says he’s got the votes to become speaker next year. House Dems will meet on November 16th to formalize that and finalize other leadership posts. Reives will be formally elected speaker when sessions begins on January 13th. #ncpol

Let’s put into perspective the margin in SD24, which will decide who wins the North Carolina Senate…

NC03: Murphy leads by 233 votes out of 238k votes cast
NC05: Hubbard leads by 99 votes out of 284k votes cast
vs
SD24: Britt leads by 268 votes out of 55.5k votes cast

Disappointed we couldn't get HBO licensing rights to overlay the "Succession" theme song over this story, but the vibe stands. Four Republicans are vying to succeed Senate leader Phil Berger next year. Here’s the process for selecting a replacement. #ncpol

Across the entire nation, there's 25 House races that have yet to be called by the AP. NC is home to five of them, including three currently in recount territory. #ncpol
