a note on the north carolina sec of agriculture race... the republican candidate is up by a little over 2,000 votes, if i remember correctly. there was an issue of 4,000 early voting ballots being lost in carteret county. that county voted 60-40 for the republican candidate. so, logically, of course, those lost ballots probably wont influence the election much.
however, it was orginially planned to let those voters who early voted at that particular precinct PLUS carteret county voters who didnt vote at all on nov 2, have a revote in january. the democrats, knowing they would fail, whine and bellyached until they got the partisan board of elections to authorize a state revote, which will cost around $3 million and probably have a turnout of about 10-20%.
the democrats are getting pretty good at stealing elections.
