UPDATE IV: Those county commissioner numbers are interesting. I'll do the math and try to figure out who is actually within the 40% threshold.

So far the first 8 candidates on the ballot are above the 40% threshold, so it doesn't look like there will be a runoff.

UPDATE V: Looks like we're headed for a runoff in the school board at-large seat, as neither Leigh Bordley nor Jonathan Alston is able to get a 40% plurality.

UPDATE VI: County Commissioners race has the three incumbents (Page, Heron, Reckhow) looking good for re-election, while Joe Bowser and Brenda Howerton seem to be ready to take the two remaining seats. That's going to raise a few eyebrows.

UPDATE VII: The Jonathan Alston showing in the school board at-large race is, for me, the most significant of thenight. More than any opther race, this one clearly shows that the Durham Committee remains a potent force in local politics.

UPDATE VIII: CNN has an interactive county by county map showing the presidential results.

UPDATE IX: Results have stalled out at around 49 precincts reporting, so no updates for a while.

UPDATE X: AT 10 pm, with 60 out of 62 precincts reporting, the only two races left up in the air are the 5th seat on the BoCC, and the at-large school board seat. That race looks like it's going to a runoff. On the BoCC, Brenda Howerton is holding onto the last seat by a margin of about 700 votes over Fred Foster. Joe Bowser appears to have successfully regained his seat on the BoCC. More comments and rumors resulting from this development later.
