Republicans flipped control of the North Carolina Supreme Court in their favor, winning back control for the first time in six years.
The GOP managed to flip two seats on the North Carolina Supreme Court bench to their side, shifting the court from the Democrats' 4-3 majority into a 5-2 Republican majority."I'm honored and humbled to have been elected to the NC Supreme Court by the people of this great state. Words cannot express my gratitude for the family members, friends, and thousands of volunteers whose support and hard work made this outcome possible.
The victory in North Carolina could set the stage for a more favorable court ruling for Republicans on hot-button issues such as abortion and redistricting. Earlier this year, the state Supreme Court tossed out a Republican-backed congressional map. The map was used in the midterm elections, but Republicans are expected to be eyeing a challenge when the new court convenes, hoping to craft more favorable apportionment.
