State Highlights

In 2002, Elizabeth Dole was handpicked by President Bush to run for the Senate seat vacated by Jesse Helms, a fellow Republican. She handily won the party's nomination and defeated a former Clinton administration aide to win the race.

But as Mr. Bush's popularity slipped, Mrs. Dole became more vulnerable. Throughout her re-election campaign she had to fend off attacks from her Democratic challenger, Kay Hagan, over her voting record, her absences from the state and her ties to Mr. Bush.

The Obama campaign's infrastructure in the state and the millions that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee invested in the Hagan campaign turned out to be too much for Mrs. Dole. On Tuesday, she lost the election to Ms. Hagan by more than 300,000 votes, though the presidential race remained too close to call.

Ms. Hagan garnered most of the vote among 18- to 29-year-olds, riding on the coattails of the Obama campaign's success in drawing young people to the polls. She also scored high among people who disapproved of Mr. Bush and received the near-absolute support of black voters, according to exit polls.

Lt. Gov. Bev Perdue won a tight race to replace Gov. Mike Easley, a fellow Democrat, who must leave office at the end of his second term in December. Ms. Perdue beat Mayor Pat McCrory of Charlotte, a Republican, to be the first woman elected to the post. Her victory sealed the Democrats' hold in state government, as they retained their majorities in the State Legislature.

In the races to fill North Carolina's 13 House seats, Congressman Robin Hayes, a five-term Republican incumbent, was the only one to be unseated. He lost to Larry Kissell, a Democrat and social studies teacher. FERNANDA SANTOS
