North Carolina voting results

The elections are over. North Carolina, a "battleground state," has not yet been officially counted to a satisfactory number representative of the citizens' votes one way (Democrat) or the other (Republican) regarding its choice for President of The United States.

What can be said, however, is that an amazing number of voters turned out and what an historic occasion this has become. Below are the total votes thus far in the presidential race in North Carolina, as well as the [mostly] solid results in the rest of the positions being sought.
