Anita Earls holds a commanding trader consensus position as the North Carolina Supreme Court seat's likely winner due to her incumbency since 2018, substantial fundraising edge exceeding $3.5 million compared to Stevens' under $258,000, and consistent polling leads of 7-8 points in recent surveys of likely voters. As the sole statewide judicial race on the November 3 ballot, the contest centers on preserving the court's 5-2 Republican majority or expanding it to 6-1, with implications for 2028 seat control. Stevens, a former state House member, has maintained limited public visibility and advertising. Market pricing diverges from narrower polling margins, reflecting trader emphasis on structural advantages for the incumbent. Late shifts among undecided voters or post-election legal disputes could still alter the outcome before final certification.
Rules
This market will resolve according to the winner of the 2026 North Carolina Supreme Court election. A candidate shall be considered to represent a party in the event that he or she is the nominee of the party in question. Candidates other than the Democratic or Republican nominee (e.g., Greens, Libertarian, independent) may be added at a later date. Candidates who run as independents will not be encompassed by the “Democrat” or “Republican” options regardless of any affiliation they may have with the party. The resolution source for this market is the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC. This market will resolve once all three sources call the race for the same candidate. If all three sources haven’t called the race in this state for the same candidate, this market will resolve based on the official certification.
