Here are some numbers to keep in mind:
Republicans now control the N.C. Senate with a 31-19 majority. Thirty-two of the 50 Senate seats are in play today, with the outcomes of 18 races already decided before the general election. Among the uncontested elections, Republicans hold an 11-7 advantage. That means they need to win 15 of the 32 contested elections to maintain a majority, and 20 of the 32 contested elections to match their current majority. Democrats need to win 19 of the 32 contested elections to retake the Senate majority.
In the House, the GOP holds a 68-52 majority. Sixty-nine of the 120 Senate seats are in play today, with the outcomes of 51 races already decided before the general election. Among the uncontested elections, Republicans hold a 26-25 advantage. They need to win 35 of the 69 contested elections to maintain a majority, and 42 of the contested elections to match their current majority. Democrats need to win 36 of the contested elections to retake the House majority.
