In a heavily-contested race for a vacant seat in the US Senate, the race is officially called for Republican Ted Budd.

WRAL reports that with 98% of precincts reporting, Budd received 51% of the votes, while his Democratic opponent Cheri Beasley held about 47% of the votes. Early poll results showed Beasley with a strong lead, thanks to early and absentee voting. However, as polls closed at 7:30 pm, Budd benefitted greatly from Election Day votes, which, by tradition, consists of mostly Republican voters.

Although votes are still being counted in larger counties, including Wake County, news outlets are pretty much calling it a done deal. Budd will take the seat vacated by retiring Republican U.S. Sen. Richard Burr.
