Henderson County voters fill one-stop site amid early voting shift

The Henderson County early vote drew 8,580 voters by mid morning Tuesday at the single site after closing five other one-stop locations. The six day total reached 8,291 with 11 days left, split among 2,100 Democrats, 3,087 Republicans, and 3,075 unaffiliated. Melinda Lawrance, NAACP president, says churches pushed Sunday voting while Elections Director Beverly Cunningham reports no organized effort. Jay Egolf and other candidates canvassed outside the Board of Elections office as GOP endorsements stirred mixed reactions in the nonpartisan school board race. Governor Cooper announced Mack McKeller as District Court Judge for 29B, with McKeller a former Navy lieutenant commander and Brevard attorney.
