North Carolina remains outside the Democrats' grasp

In 2008, Barack Obama picked up North Carolina's Electoral College votes, and with growth in Charlotte and the Research Triangle, it seemed like the state could be increasingly competitive. But in 2012, it was a rare bright spot for Republicans, and it has remained just outside the Democrats' reach since then, both in Senate and presidential races. Even as Democrats were gaining votes among newcomers to the state, they were shedding the support of the more ancestral Democrats who had put folks like John Edwards in the Senate.

Democrats flip New York's 22nd District

Mid-cycle redistricting in New York made the central-upstate 22nd District a bit more Democratic, to the detriment of Republican Rep. Brandon Williams. ABC News projects that Democratic state Sen. John Mannion will defeat Williams to give Democrats their second pickup of the night, joining Alabama's 2nd. However, the GOP has picked up three Democratic-held seats in North Carolina, thanks to a new Republican drawn congressional map.

Education ballot measures roundup

Kentucky was the first to report on its educational ballot measure. Voters said no to Amendment 2, choosing not to allow public funds to go toward private school tuition. Voters in the Bluegrass state rejected the ballot measure with an overwhelming 65% with an estimation of nearly all the expected votes being counted, according to the AP. Gov. Andy Beshear posted on X thanking the state for "protecting our public schools."

Meanwhile, in Nebraska, Referendum 435 asked voters to decide whether to uphold or repeal Bill 1402, which funds students to attend non-public schools. While initial reporting said voters were in favor of upholding Bill 1402, it is now looking like voters will have it repealed, with 53% voting to reject the bill to 48%, and 63% of the expected vote counted. It remains a tight race, per The Associated Press.

Another school-choice-related ballot was Amendment 80 in Colorado, which asked voters to enshrine in the state constitution that public money be allowed to go toward private education. The bill needs 55% of support to pass, but has received just below the threshold at 47.7% with 63% of the votes counted, with 63% of the expected vote in, according to the AP.

Finally, in Florida, Amendment 1, which asked voters whether school board elections should be partisan, did not pass by a short margin. This would have candidates disclose their political party next to their names on the ballot. While in Florida amendments need 60% of support to pass legislation, Amendment 1 only received 55% per the AP, with 93% of the expected vote in.
