North Carolina Democrats Break GOP Supermajority

North Carolina Democrats appear to have broken the GOP's supermajority in the state legislature, flipping a key seat an hour east of Raleigh. Why it matters: Come January Republicans will no longer hold the power to override gubernatorial vetoes, which could force them to negotiate with Governor-elect Josh Stein in order to pass their biggest priorities.

Same thing happened last election and then, at the time, Democrat and massive "see you next Tuesday" Tricia Cotham changed her party affiliation and screwed over everyone that voted for her. Then they gerrymandered her a safe new district and she won again last night.
