Big races in North Carolina

The governor’s race is the most important race to watch in North Carolina this year. Republican Mark Robinsonthe state’s embattled lieutenant governor, faces Democrat Josh Stein, who serves as the state’s attorney general. Less than two months before the election, the race was rocked by one CNN report those detailed inflammatory, graphic and racist comments Robinson posted on a pornographic website more than a decade ago. Robinson denied posting the comments, but several of his associates did left his campaign. After the revelations, the Cook Political Report shifted the race from “lean Democrat” to “likely Democrat.”

The other race to watch is in eastern North Carolina’s 1st Congressional District. Republican candidate Laurie Buckhout is trying to defeat Democratic Rep. to dethrone Don Davis in a district that has become more competitive for Republicans after redistricting. The district did not elect a Republican since 1883. The winner of this race could help determine control of the House.
