4:35 PM PT: NC-06: The State Board of Elections has about 2,500 ballots counted, and they give minister Mark Walker a 59-41 lead over Rockingham County District Attorney Phil Berger Jr. Would be a major upset if Walker wins, but it's very early.
4:46 PM PT: NC-06: A little less than 4,000 votes are in, and Walker now has a smaller but still surprising 55-45 lead. The state board says two precincts out of 241 are in, but the tally likely includes early votes from across the district.
4:55 PM PT: NC-06: Here's something Berger should be worried about. The first batch of early votes give Walker a 60-40 lead in Guilford County, the largest part of the district by far. Still early but if that holds, very good sign we're in for an upset.
5:06 PM PT: NC-06: About 5,600 votes in, which includes a bunch of early votes and 7 percent of election day precincts. Walker continues to lead 55-45: In the first round Berger had a 34-25 edge.
5:12 PM PT: NC-06: About 14 percent of election day votes are in, plus many early ballots. Walker continues to lead 55-45.
5:20 PM PT: NC-06: 17 percent of election day precincts are in, and Walker's 55-45 lead is holding. It really looks like on of the state's most powerful political families could suffer a big upset tonight.
5:25 PM PT: NC-06: About 25 percent of election day votes are in and Walker up 56-44.
5:33 PM PT: NC-06: 38 percent of the election day vote is in and Walker up 56-44. Very hard to see Berger turning this around.
5:35 PM PT: NC-06: This is getting ridiculous. 47 percent of precincts in and Walker now up 57-43.
