Absentee vote contest in North Carolina House race
The article reports on the Doughton Campbell election contest in the U S House. Representative Cable seeks to throw out 1 596 absentee votes for Doughton and 201 for Campbell to swing the result, but Wilson rebuts the argument citing nine counties with absentee votes and urging that all such votes be treated consistently under the law. Local clerks and voters are noted, with a Lexington Kentucky reference to Boone Drug Co.
