The most uncertain House race at the moment may be #NC03: GOP Rep. Greg Murphy retains an 118-vote lead over Democrat Raymond Smith, but it's melted away and could shift.

If this result holds up, it would be one of the purest, most unambiguous examples of a dummymander ever.
NC Republicans made #NC03 bluer to make #NC01 redder—and didn't touch any other districts. Dems have already won #NC01.

JUST IN: All #NC03 counties have reported their provisionals. GOP Rep. Greg Murphy declared victory last week and entered today with a 233-vote lead.

Democrat Raymond Smith is inching toward a lead in NC-03 as the final votes are counted. Murphy's (R) lead is down to 118.
With about 2,600 votes left to count per AP, Smith needs to win about 52-53% of them.
If this seat flips Democrats would be poised to win 11 of North Carolina’s 14 seats.

The term “dummymander” kinda broke containment last year and started to get a bit misapplied. But what we have here in #NC03 is a bona fide, true blue, no doubt about it, take it to the bank dummymander. This is an example we will point to for years to come.
If North Carolina Republicans had left the congressional lines alone, GOP Rep. Greg Murphy would be preparing for a new term. Instead, Democratic Rep.-elect Raymond Smith (pictured) won and the GOP's new map has become a textbook "dummymander."

And Murphy knew it, too. When Republicans in the state legislature redrew his district, he wanted to switch to #NC01 instead, because it contained his base. But the White House reportedly pressured him to stay put in #NC03.
Now the GOP has lost both districts.

North Carolina's GOP mapmakers pay the price for their greed: Republican Rep. Greg Murphy concedes to Democrat Ray Smith in a seat GOP made less conservative to target Democratic Rep. Don Davis, who won anyway.
