NORTH CAROLINA SENATE ELECTION 2014: Thom Tillis (R) – Incumbent Kay Hagen (D) … Race Still Too Close to Call (Update Race Called For Republican Tillis, GOP+7)

 

With 97% of the vote counted in North Carolina, the US Senate race between Republican Thom Tillis and incumbent Sen. Kay Hagen is still too close to call.

UPDATE I: Make it +7 for the GOP as the North Carolina race has been called for Republican challenger Thom Tillis. Republicans have now picked up an amazing 7 seats tonight and its not over. The race was nip and tuck all night, much like the recent polls prior to the election.

Tillis declared winner in NC Senate race.

The race between incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan and Republican challenger Thom Tillis was too close to call in North Carolina.

Tillis had 49 percent and Hagan had 47 percent of the vote with nearly 80 percent of the state’s precincts reporting, according to the state Board of Elections.

Some of the state’s most populous counties had not completely reported results.

The race pitted Tillis, the speaker of the GOP-controlled state House, against Hagan, a one-term Democrat with a record of backing President Barack Obama and his health care law.

The Affordable Care Act, generally, has not been popular in North Carolina.

Voters who backed Tillis said they wanted change.
