For 39 candidates vying to win a seat in the N.C. General Assembly, the election ended at noon today — and they all won.
That’s the number of House and Senate candidates — nearly all of them incumbents — who weren’t challenged to a primary and who don’t have opposition in the general election. By my count, there are 10 districts in the Senate (six for Republicans and four for Democrats) in which only one candidate has filed.
In the House, there are 29 districts (16 for Republicans and 13 for Democrats) in which only one candidate has filed.
Facing no opposition in a primary or general election — nice work if you can get it.
