North Carolina, New Mexico, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia end early in-person voting Saturday

Saturday is the last day early in-person voting The nation is just three days away from Election Day in New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia and Virginia.

Here’s everything you need to know to cast a last-minute vote during early voting.

North Carolina is the fastest growing state this cycle

North Carolina last voted for a Democratic president in 2008, when Senator Barack Obama won the state by 0.3 points, or 14,177 votes.

Trump had a convincing 3.7-point win in 2016, but that lead narrowed to 1.3 points over Biden in 2020.

Late last month, Fox News Poll There was only a one-point difference between the two 2024 presidential candidates; Democratic nominee Vice President Harris had 49% and former President Trump had 50%. North Carolina is second in the rankings Fox News Power Rankings.

The state became more competitive as its population grew. In the last decade, North Carolina added roughly 1.1 million people; this is the fourth largest increase among all states.

Much of this growth has occurred in urban and suburban areas such as deep blue Mecklenburg and Wake counties.

The pandemic has brought in wealthier, urban Americans from surrounding states, including some college voters.

Rural areas have experienced some population decline, but they remain a strong part of the state’s overall vote and vote overwhelmingly Republican.

Here are the key down-ballot races in today’s states

  • North Carolina’s 1st District: Democratic Rep. Don Davis won this open seat by less than five points in the midterm elections. This year, he’ll face Army veteran Laurie Buckhout for this northeastern district with a high share of Black voters. This race is a race Fox News Power Rankings.
  • North Carolina’s 13th and 14th Districts: Redistricting shifted both of these seats, once centered in Raleigh and Charlotte, to expanding, predominantly exurban and rural districts. This makes them easy targets for Republicans. will probably convert both this is november. In the 13th district, small businessman Frank Pierce (D) is opposing prosecutor Brad Knott (R), and in the 14th district, U.S. Army veteran and nurse Pam Genant (D) is opposing state legislator Tim Moore (R).
  • West Virginia Senate: Republicans will start the night strong West Virginia. The seat is held by Sen. Joe Manchin, who decided not to run for re-election earlier this year. The senator’s enduring relationship with West Virginians helped him eke out a three-point win in 2018, but that’s deep red territory with former President Donald Trump’s nearly 39-point win in the last presidential race. Democrats needed Manchin on the ballot to put up a good fight. That victory alone would give Republicans 50 Senate seats, or one short of a majority. (If Trump wins the presidential race, he will control the Senate even if the GOP is not a majority because the vice president has broken ties.)
  • New Mexico’s 2nd District: New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District covers most of the state’s southwestern land area. It covers parts of Las Cruces and Albuquerque, but also has a large share of rural votes. Democratic Rep. Gabe Vasquez won the district by just 1,350 votes in the midterm elections; this year he will face Yvette Herrell, the former Republican holder of the seat. This is a Power Ranking throwing up.
  • Virginia’s 2nd District: Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District was one of the most closely watched races of 2022, and it was a stark contrast for the Republicans. Rep. Jen Kiggans is facing U.S. Navy veteran and small business woman Missy Cotter Smasal, this time in a heavily military district that includes Virginia Beach. This is a Lean R race. Power Rankings.
  • Virginia’s 7th District: The northcentral 7th District remains in Democratic hands in 2022 thanks to Abigail Spanberger’s strong brand, but she is vacating the seat at the end of this term to run for governor. This will be a matchup between two Army veterans: Democrat Eugene Vindman and Republican Derrick Anderson. The race went to shooting from Yalın D in the final Power Rankings Before Election Day.
