On this episode of the WUNCPolitics Podcast, host Jeff Tiberii talks with Jason deBruyn, WUNC’s data reporter, about the races in play - and the potential balance of power - in the North Carolina General Assembly (and Jason's strong sock game).

Jason reported a story this week on the fight over the super-majority in the state Legislature and another story on the rematches this election season. In all, there are 13 North Carolina legislative races this year in which the incumbent faces the exact same challenger as two years ago.WUNCPolitics Podcast, episode 25
