Bordley in a landslide
Unofficial results from the Board of Elections:
Leigh Bordley . . . . . . . 6,384 82.61
Jonathan R. Alston . . . . . 1,323 17.12
WRITE-IN. . . . . . . . . 21 .27
Turnout was under 5% in Durham County.
The word coattails comes to mind.
Statewide, Mary Fant Donnan won the runoff to face incumbent Cherie K. Berry in the November election for Labor Commissioner. Turnout was under 2%, although that was a partisan race, and not everyone was eligible to vote. Expect to see a hue and cry for a few days about the cost of runoff elections that nobody votes in, to be completely forgotten until the next time this scenario pops up.
