Roy Cooper won the U.S. Senate race, flipping a Republican-held seat, while Democrats are set to take the state House for the first time since 2010. Republicans appear to hold the Senate 26-24. The unofficial results give Gov. Josh Stein more leverage, including a stronger chance to sustain vetoes. Schools: Wake County voters approved a $680 million school bond for new schools, renovations and upgrades, including HVAC work. Taxes and Recovery: Voters approved three state constitutional amendments, including a cap on local property-tax increases.
