North Carolina Republicans are intensifying election integrity efforts as four congressional races and a pivotal state Senate contest remain too close to call, potentially deciding control of the chamber. More than 36,000 provisional ballots are under review statewide ahead of Friday’s county canvass deadlines.
The Republican National Committee and state party have deployed attorneys and observers to scrutinize the counting process in uncalled races for NC-03, NC-05, NC-07, and NC-10 – districts currently held by Reps. Greg Murphy, Virginia Foxx, David Rouzer, and Pat Harrigan respectively. Each county board will rule this week on whether to accept, partially accept, or reject contested provisional ballots.
State Senate Control on Knife’s Edge
All eyes remain on state Senate District 24 where Republican Danny Britt leads Democrat Catina Hamm by just hundreds of votes as provisional ballots are tallied. A Hamm victory would create a 25-25 split, handing tie-breaking authority to Democratic Lt. Gov. Rachel Hunt and effectively ending the GOP’s legislative trifecta.
“We’ve built one of the strongest election integrity operations in the country over years of preparation,” a state GOP official told Breitbart. “Every legal vote should count – and only legal votes.”
Unexpected Results Shake Up Races
The elections produced several surprise outcomes, including Democrat Richard Ojeda’s upset over NRCC Chairman Richard Hudson after Ojeda’s controversial pledge to “be happy to go to jail” for assaulting former Trump adviser Stephen Miller. Another Democratic victor, Lakesha Womack, faces a felony warrant hearing this week for allegedly failing to return a rental vehicle.
With control of Washington already decided, North Carolina’s unresolved contests represent the election’s last major undecided prizes. County boards must certify results by Friday before potential recounts in the closest races.
