North Carolina primary election results

North Carolina, where primaries for U.S. Senate and 14 congressional districts are taking place, will not be releasing vote totals publicly until 8:30 p.m. State officials agreed to keep a precinct in one county open late after workers couldn’t get some equipment working at the start of the day. Election officials said counties can go ahead and count votes when their polls close and report the results internally to the state. But the state isn’t releasing vote totals publicly until an hour after poll close.
