Stein, like Gov. Roy Cooper, catapulted from the attorney general's office to the Executive Mansion.

The win makes Stein, 58, the first Jewish governor of the Tar Heel State. He defeated his Republican challenger Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who was hoping to become the state's first Black governor.

Unsurprisingly, ABC News projects that Trump will win in South Carolina, a state that has been reliably red in presidential races since at least 1984. (Republicans won the state in 1980 also, but not by a very large margin.)

Also in the Palmetto State tonight, a ballot referendum that would prohibit noncitizens from voting in state and local elections, one of a raft of such measures around the country. With 23% of the expected vote reporting, the measure looks almost sure to pass: 84% of voters have voted in favor, with 16% opposed.

Voters in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, were waiting in line for as long as seven hours to cast their ballots at a polling location near Lehigh University, an official confirmed to ABC News.

The official -- Scott Hough, the vice chair of the Northampton County Election Commission -- said the wait was due to a broken voting machine in one precinct.

A judge denied Pennsylvania Democrats' request to keep this polling location open until 10 p.m., but will allow any voters who were in line at 8 p.m. to cast their ballots.

The state's Democratic Party petitioned the judge to grant the extension, arguing the Northampton County Board of Elections "has failed to provide sufficient voting machines and personnel to accommodate" voters.

"Long wait times resulting from inadequate equipment and personnel have caused electors to potentially be unable to vote within the time for opening and closing of polls," the petition stated.

Shocking no one, ABC News projects that Republican Patrick Morrisey has won the West Virginia gubernatorial race.
