Ellmers apparently in 3rd place in her race with Holding, who has a commanding lead.
Excellent, Holding won with 53%, Elmers (23.6%) barely edged out Brannon for 2nd place. VERY gratifying result.
In other NC results
In CD 9 incumbent Robert Pittenger is the apparent winner by just 102 votes in a 3 way race, the 3rd place finisher was only 1000 votes behind. This one wasn’t even on my radar, I would surmise he did so poorly because much of his district is new territory for him. The (apparent) runner up was Pastor Mark Harris, who ran for the Senate in 2014 and placed third in the primary.
In the new CD 13, the GOP nomination was won by Gun Range Owner Ted Budd with just 20% of the vote (must be near the record, one would think), which was nearly double what that second place finisher, State Rep. John Blust, got. There were 16! candidates, including Vernon Robinson, who placed 10th with 3%. No runoff, Budd will win in November.
In CD-3, RINO who is mistakenly called very conservative far too often, Walter Jones, won renomination by a huge margin.
For the rats in CD-12, Congresswoman Alma Adams easily won renomination with 42%, 29% for her nearest foe.
