10:15 pm
>> reporter: now, we just understood that we are officially now calling this race for senator burr. deborah ross has lost the race a few seconds ago. that came up on the screen here, and the crowd here of course is very disappointed. a lot of booing because they say that it was time for a change in washington, and they really felt like deborah ross was the person to go to washington and make that change, but we now understand she has will look forward to hearing from her at the podium when she comes down to, you know, talk to her supporters here in the crowd. back to you. >> all right, amanda lamb live at the democratic headquarters in raleigh tonight. that's tough. new information for them there. >> absolutely. of course this is burr's final term in the us senate. he said this is the last time he's running for that office. we have a lot more election 2016 coverage ahead. still waiting to hear from richard burr and deborah ross. >> and we'll also check back in

too. it's a rather subdued crowd. that's safe to say. they're standing watching the results, watching the results right now, and they are kind of muted right now. we haven't heard many shouts or cheers in the last little while. as a matter of fact i heard one supporter just before the air saying give us some good news. we haven't seen any of the candidates yet, but we'll keep monitoring the results and let you know how the mood is here among the democrats. back to you. >> all right, bryan mims, thank you. north carolina's republican party also watching the numbers

10:24 pm
that's something our partners did, and donald trump is going to win north carolina. pat mccrory is very close, but i believe he will win. the lieutenant governor has been re-elected. no question about that. we're going to hold the incumbents down the ballot. we're going to have the next treasurer. we're way up in that, and we may pick up the auditor and a couple more. very close in the attorney general race. i'll give it's been roughly, except for the auditor, and that's a little different because he didn't have much of a constituency. it's been nearly four decades since an incumbent council of state, down ballot council of state member has been defeated. i believe the last one was democrat john brooks in the labor commissioner race after the horrible chicken fire.
10:25 pm
we're slated right now to either break even or possibly pick up seats in the state legislature. it's a phenomenal thing. >> reporter: it's looking good according to one of the speakers just up there. looking to be a great night he said for the republican party. greg to of the gop, thank you for -- director of the gop, thank you for joining us tonight. and not a lot of disappointment here, just a lot far tonight. but of course a lot of votes still haven't been counted, and we'll continue to be here throughout the night. back to you. >> sloane heffernan live at the republican headquarters in raleigh. tonight's election impacting the balance of power in the north carolina legislature. >> david crabtree and laura leslie have a closer look at the changes and what it means. >> yes, and one of the things we have to wait on is all of
10:26 pm
still possibilities of votes that haven't -- pockets of votes that still haven't come in, but first the balance of power in the senate. republicans lead, and here in wake county we don't see a reason for that to change. >> right, but we do have to reiterate we have pockets of state without the answers. >> yeah, and moving along to the house, it could be a little let's pull this up. right now 74 to 45, and it represents the veto-proof number, bullet the democrats are shave can be but the democrats look like they've -- but the democrats look like they're shaving the number. in wake county two seats have changed. >> yes, it appears, because they're provisional results, we
10:27 pm
provisional ballots say, wait for the final canvass in the cases so close, but the democratic challenger joe john, and representative gary pendleton may have lost his race. both very close, but on the other hand you see the one down here, an independent in deer county. republicans thought earlier this year they'd lose to democrat, but as it turns out it looks like the republicans take over the seat so that may have been what it was they were talking about. if that's all that changes it's 73, still a veto-proof majority. >> and we're continuing to watch the races. at 11:00 tonight we'll have more on the races in the legislature, but we know in the races where there's been a flip or appears to be a flip and a
10:28 pm
razor thin wins, it appears house bill 2 impacted the races. >> it may havism pacted a couple -- may have impacted a couple of race, but a coupleof others expected to be close weren't close. >> all right, we'll be back later in the newscast. gerald and linda, back to you. >> thank you. this may be the most historic election of our time. not only is north carolina and the nation waiting to see happens, the world is also watching. still ahead we'll look at where the congressional races stand and we'll take another look at what's going on at the campaign headquarters in new york. clouds increasing across the area this evening, and check out the regional radar view. rain is on the way. we'll check out the time line of the arrival, and what happens when it passes coming

10:33 pm
the incumbent with the lead. district 7, this includes johnston county, wayne county, and samson county, and district 9, the incumbent with the lead over cano. burr is getting ready to address his supporters in raleigh. we're going live. do we have >> i'm grateful for the work we do for north carolina, and there are no two senators from any state that work closer than tom and i do, and i'm grateful for that [ applause ] >> tonight i am truly humbled by the support ifs receiverred from people across the state. it's an honor to be elected to

10:39 pm
precincts have been counted. we know that. these are some of the numbers we have. these have just been updated. they haven't made it to the screen yet. both of the candidates now have over 2 million votes each in north carolina. about 7 percent of the precincts are still ou yet this state still hasn't been called, and when you look at the map you see the possibilities of the urban -- pockets of urban areas going for hillary clinton. a lot of trump supporters in the rest of the state. >> and we're still trying to get information, but what we can say at this point is we know some of the counties with the slower reporting have been coties that tend to be heavily democratic. now whether or not there are enough democratic votes out there to change the outcome of the races, we don't know that yet because we're still trying to determine exactly where those are, but no real big surprises here in the race for president. the counties that often do vote
10:40 pm
this case, mecklenburg county, triad county areas. >> but look at this part of state. >> yes, solid red. >> we've seen democratic votes from wilmington that we didn't see tonight. >> and i think that's a trump factor right there because he spent a lot of time campaigning in this area right there. so you, know, he pretty much was all over, he and pence all over the southeast part of state, and i think you're seeing that pay off for him. now looking at how things are shaking out for race. want to have a look at that, state view, i think we'll see pretty much the same pattern. state view. >> there we go. 's going to come forward. >> or it's not. anyway. >> you can't see, but there's a little bit of blue there that i was talking about earlier that we didn't see in the race for the presidency that we're seeing in the race for governor. >> and again, that's the effect of campaigning that, you know,
10:41 pm
think sometimes there's a tendency to forget how much it matters when you're blanketing part of a region with rallies. last but not least a quick look at the us senate. or try to see if we can get a state view up. can we? >> there we go. >> and this one looks a lot like the presidential. you'll see the also watauga is not there, doesn't look like it went for ross, but basicay prettyuch the same as we're seeing in the presidential race. >> there have been some surprises here as we were talking with bruce thompson on wral 2, and bruce was the clinton treasurer in north carolina. >> right. >> they' bven a little surprised at the turnout and intensity of the turnout they say.
10:42 pm
where they were at this time tonight. >> it is getting increasingly hard to see where the votes would be for hillary clinton to win the state at this point. at this point it's not impossible, but looking more and more improbable as the minutes go by. >> and we'll be back in the next hour. the numbers will be upted then. a lot more sings then,ut ba lot of race -- precincts then, but a lot race, we may t know until well past >> we may t know willbe, but we'll be here tbring it to u. >> all right, dave, thank you. >> -- david thank you. >> we have it all covered fo you tonight no matter how long it takes. >> plus mike maze ins us with
