From the Durham County Board of Elections:

Director Ashe states winners in the general election

are determined by 'most votes cast', and not a majority

nor a 'substantial plurality'.

They keep a running total of ballots cast since start

last week, posted prominently by the electronic ballot

counter. As of this morning, 570 ballots have been

cast in person at the old Durham Athletic Park location.

The candidates signs are thick outside the one-stop

polling place. Mostly judgeships. The petitions from

this past summer are a public record and anyone can

obtain them. They run a very tight ship down at the

BOE now. 10/24/06

Thanks for that.

So Nifong could win if it's
34% Nifong
33% Cheek
33% Monks

or more likely
49% Nifong
48% Cheek
3% Monks

Monks really needs to drop out. What a jerk.
