BREAKING: Republican Greg Murphy has defeated Democrat Allen Thomas in a North Carolina congressional district won easily by President Trump in 2016. The U.S. House seat was left vacant by the death of longtime GOP Rep. Walter Jones Jr. in February.

Murphy is a state House member who survived a 17-candidate Republican primary in April and a July runoff. Jones died in February after 24 years in Congress. The state elections board voted Tuesday evening to extend voting by 25 minutes in a single Mecklenburg County precinct where a gas leak disrupted balloting. The decision just minutes before voting ended at 7:30 p.m. forced the delay in releasing initial results in the special elections in the 9th and 3rd congressional districts.Republican Dan Bishop is seeking to extend the GOP’s 56-year hold on the district. He’s running against Democrat Dan McCready and two other candidates.

Walter Jones Jr.North Carolina election officials are not acting on a request by the state Republican Party to extend hours at a single precinct in the special election for the country’s last undecided congressional seat.
Retiree Susie Sisk of Mint Hill told The Associated Press that she’s voting for Republican state Sen. Dan Bishop. Sisk said Bishop is for the Second Amendment, against illegal immigration and won’t raise taxes.Another Mint Hill retiree, Bob Southern, said he voted for McCready because he’s fed up with the Republican Party’s agenda and President Trump.
