Republicans lose veto-proof majority in North Carolina House, shifting power dynamics.

Final results of North Carolina's legislative elections confirm Republicans lost their veto-proof control in the House. With 71 seats, one short of the required three-fifths majority, Democrats' new Governor Josh Stein now has stronger veto power. The Senate remains at 30 Republicans and 20 Democrats. The loss of veto-proof control follows the defeat of Rep. Frank Sossamon to Democrat Bryan Cohn.
