North Carolina | Statewide vote count ends tomorrow

Via the N&O, Results near for 3 top jobs:

... The State Board of Elections will release the official vote count Tuesday after tallying all provisional ballots, ending the races for commissioner of agriculture, superintendent of public instruction and state auditor.

"I'll be anxious to get the results," said Agriculture Commissioner Britt Cobb of Raleigh, who was trailing his Republican opponent, Steve Troxler, a Guilford County tobacco farmer, by 9,836 votes by Sunday afternoon.

In the race for superintendent of public instruction, Democrat June Atkinson was leading Republican Bill Fletcher by 2,927 votes. Atkinson is a former state school administrator from Raleigh. Fletcher, of Cary, is a member of the Wake County school board.

The race for state auditor remained the least ambiguous.

Republican Les Merritt of Zebulon was leading incumbent Ralph Campbell of Raleigh by more than 35,043 votes Sunday.

The N&O is still running the vote counts for other statewide offices at the top of their NC races page.
