While Republican candidates around the country largely underperformed last week, Republicans in North Carolina took control of the state Supreme Court, won back their supermajority in the state Senate and did nearly the same in the state House.

Republican House Speaker Tim Moore is one vote away from having a supermajority in his chamber. His party flipped at least a half dozen seats Tuesday night, netting two additional votes after accounting for seats lost to redistricting.

Moore, R-Cleveland, thinks the Republican message is resonating with North Carolina voters, especially because of the work GOP lawmakers have done to strengthen the state’s economy.
“I mean, folks, watching this, if they think about it, ‘Oh yeah, there's all these new job announcements. There's all these new houses being built. There's all these folks living here,’” Moore said. “Well, that's not an accident.”

Republicans also swept all six judicial races on the ballot in the state Supreme Court as well as the state Court of Appeals. Moore said Democratic judges and justices went too far to the left on issues like voter identification and redistricting, and voters didn’t like it.
“They overplayed their hand,” Moore said of the Democratic judges. “I mean, particularly on those judicial matters, that's what our poll numbers are showing us, and I think this is what the election results showed as well.”
