NC legislature overrides Gov. Cooper's veto, pistol purchase permits repealed

Supporters of the bill said the pistol purchase permit system is redundant since federal background checks are already required and many of the checks in place are what the state requires. The state law does go further than federal law does and allows a sheriff to deny a pistol permit if they determine the applicant is not of ‘good moral character.’

Key state and local results from Tuesday's primary

Delayed contests and crowded fields made for an unusually busy primary season in this midterm election. Here's a look at some of the key results. U.S. Senate Republican Congressman Ted Budd of Davie County earned a landslide victory in the GOP primary for U.S. Senate, easily defeating former Gov. Pat McCrory and a host of mostly longshot contenders. Budd pulled in about 58 percent of the vote, compared to 25 percent for McCrory, according to complete but unofficial results.

Republican Stanley Elrod is top fundraiser in crowded WS/FCS Board of Education race

One candidate has greatly outraised the rest in the crowded race for the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools Board of Education. Republican and former Reagan High School principal Stanley Elrod brought in more than $34,000 during his bid for a seat on the board. That’s pretty significant in a race where 13 of the candidates raised less than $1,000 each, according to the most recent publicly available filings.

GOP primary will include three judicial statewide races

North Carolina’s U.S. Senate and a slew of congressional races are getting the bulk of the attention in this year’s midterm primary. Among the statewide contests getting less notice are a state Supreme Court contest and two for the Court of Appeals. Not all primary voters will see a choice for the state appellate court on their ballots. The Democrats in the race are running unopposed so are set for the November election, and there are no Libertarian candidates.
