RALEIGH
The state Democratic Party had a sizable cash advantage over the GOP heading into the final weeks of the midterm elections, the parties said in campaign-finance reports filed this week.
The Democrats reported having $1.06 million as of Oct. 21, compared with $417,846 held by the Republicans. Parties and political candidates on Tuesday's ballot had to file their third-quarter reports with the State Board of Elections by the end of the day Monday.
Democrats also had a significant fundraising advantage during the quarter, bringing in $4.3 million, and the state Republican Party pulled in $754,000, according to numbers provided by the parties.
Democrats raised $4.1 million in the same quarter of 2004, when the ballot included votes for president, U.S. Senate, governor and other statewide elected offices. The only such races on the ballot this year are for appellate court seats, which officially are nonpartisan.
