Breaking: There will be no Republican supermajority in North Carolina. This is HUGE news for abortion rights. Republicans were just a few seats away from winning the power to override Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper's veto and enact a total or 6-week abortion ban.

Gov. Cooper's announcement here:
We stopped a GOP supermajority tonight when North Carolinians voted for balance and progress. I’ll continue to work with this legislature to support a growing economy, more clean energy, better health care and strong public schools. - RC

Looks like they won a supermajority in the State Senate but not the State House (thankfully). Right?

It's hard to overstate the significance of this result for abortion access. North Carolina is a major destination for people from antiabortion states right now. The number of abortions there have increased more since Dobbs than any other state in the country.

I am looking at Budd 50.7% and Beasley 47.1% hoping Beasley pulls ahead if that is possible.

The NC Supreme Court was just taken over by the Republicans. Gerrymandering coming soon.

It's too bad that you don't care about the rights of unborn children. Absolutely shameful.
