Three NC Elections Disputes Lead Board to Conclude Weekend Session
The North Carolina Board of Elections spent a long weekend weighing three disputes. One involves State Senate race in Alamance where Ralph Scott leads Hubert Lowe by 13 votes. Another concerns the 13th House district where Arthur Williamson trails Thomas Harrelson by one after a Columbus County recount. The third centers on Ashe County sheriff race where George Miller leads James Hartman by 12 votes. The panel voted to rescind a prior action throwing out 32 ballots in Alamance after due process objections and may rehear the case following a request by Hubert Lowe's attorney. James Booker warned of a Wake Superior Court appeal if denied.
