AOSHQDD- Primary Night- North Carolina
Welcome back again to the show that never ends, the carousel that oversells we call the primaries.
Tonight, we will focus on the results out of North Carolina.
Follow us along on our glorious, shiny AOSHQDD.COM site for the race to see who takes on Senator Kay Hagan, and right here for the latest on several interesting congressional races (below the fold).
NC-Senate:
Once a winner has been declared, name will go here:
Thom Tillis will win the primary. Question is now 40%...
Hit 40%? YES
NC-2:
Ellmers (inc) 19154--- winner
Roche 13587
94% precincts in
NC-3:
Jones (inc) 20049 <-WINNER
Griffin 17772
88% precincts in
And just for giggles, the OH-8 race. Boehner will cruise, but it will be interesting to see if there's a sizable protest vote.
OH-8:
Boehner 30874 winner
Winteregg 9926
Gurr 2389
Other 1575
57% in
If you've been following along, you might notice through other outlets and twitter that NC is doing something strange counting precincts. Seems like they are screwing up their early vote tabulations and counting the precincts as "reported", but let me give you a big example of how things are screwed up:
Mecklenburg county is the largest in the state. Yet it's showing only 15,000 votes cast if you go through the BOE website. That is atrocious turnout for a primary- far lower than anything seen in previous elections. My hunch is they are just plum screwing up. We are on top of things though, and you can trust our numbers.
Also- sucks to be the AP!- CAC
