Jerry Meek is Chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party.What a year! As we all take a step back and assess this exciting election season,
I want to remind you that we have one unresolved congressional race in North Carolina. Last week, Democrats captured the majority in the U.S. House delegation from North Carolina (7 Democrats-6 Republican) and we have a chance to make it 8-5 Democratic.
In the 8th Congressional District, Larry Kissell ran an amazing race and might have defeated incumbent Republican Rep. Robin Hayes. Right now, Kissell is behind by about 460 votes, but 1,500 provisional ballots remain uncounted. As provisional ballots tend to favor Democrats, we are very optimistic about our chances in the 8th District.
Here at the North Carolina Democratic Party, we spent the maximum we were legally allowed to spend (over $100,000) expressly
advocating for Larry Kissell. The national Democratic Party has sent in some of the best election lawyers in the country and the NCDP is working closely with the Kissell campaign to ensure that every vote is counted.
It's not over and Larry Kissell needs your help! All of this is very expensive, but it's worth it.

In a democracy, someone shouldn't declare himself the winner, especially with more than three times the margin separating the candidates still outstanding. Just three votes per precinct are needed to defeat flip-floppin' Robin Hayes once and for all.
