Margins like this - in an election with over 5 million votes cast, the liberal candidate leads by 623 votes - is when you can safely that yes, campaigning matters. Door-knocking, mailers, ads, etc.

North Carolina Justice Allison Riggs has opened a lead of 623 votes (practically a landslide given where we were this am).
That's because Forsyth Co. just added its provisional ballots.
Forsyth was 1 of just 2 counties that hadn't reported its provisionals. Other, Craven, much smaller. Near over.

I think I'll take credit for her victory, just because it's a fun thing to do!
I'm just still thinking about the presidential race really, I'm sure it can be more effective downballot.
The swing toward him in battlegrounds was 3.
Not sure *all* of that is the campaign, but a lot is. It is true tho that campaigns matter more downballot. In WI here the GOP lost many seats in part b/c they got outhustled.
