NC-01 (D/R): We’ve now hit the threshold in this race to replace another veteran Democratic Congressman (GK Butterfield). On the Democratic side, it looks to be a rout, as former state Sen. Erica Smith is crushing her opponent, state Sen. Don Davis (69-27). This has to be a bit embarrassing for Butterfield, who had endorsed Davis. On the Republican side, 2020 nominee Sandy Smith has a slight lead (35-28) over Rocky Mount mayor Sandy Roberson.
