Republican 2nd District Congressman George Holding defeated Democratic challenger Linda Coleman in an expensive and hotly contested battle for a district that covers the outside edges of Wake County and areas to the south and northeast.

The Dems and their money men poured multiplied millions into the Coleman campaign. Her ads ran nonstop. Holding countered with good ads of his own. Very expensive campaign on both sides....but so glad the ultra liberal Coleman lost! And all the Repubs from NC in Congress won or are leading.....(Mark Harris has a slim lead but he is ahead).

Unofficial election results Tuesday night showed Holding ahead of Coleman 51 to 46 percent. That's a closer contest than when Holding ran in the newly redrawn district in 2016, when he carried it over his Democratic opponent 57 to 43 percent.

In other good news, the voters of NC voted in favor of a NC Constitutional amendment requiring voter ID’s for people to vote in our elections.

The Republican controlled Legislature tried to get a voter ID law passed some time ago, but the Supreme Court threw that measure out saying it was unconstitutional.

Now maybe with this change to the NC Constitution, the voter ID law will finally have to take effect.

Wait two years when the state is forced to redraw their gerrymandered districts as the courts have ordered and see what happens.

These NC nail biters are what happen when this giant flood of New Yorkers continue to invade the state like a caravan.

Even the ones who think they’re conservative are liberal. It’s New York conservativism.
