KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE
— There have been nearly 300 U.S. House special elections since the mid-1950s.

Did Scandal Cost North Carolina Democrats a Senate Seat? By J. Miles Coleman
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE
— In North Carolina’s hotly contested Senate race last year, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) narrowly won reelection against a scandal-plagued opponent, former state Sen. Cal Cunningham (D-NC).
