Why was Rockfish so late in reporting?
Elections Supervisor Caroline Shook says there were voters in line at 7:30 when the polls closed, and they were allowed to vote, as required. That set things behind.
Then when precinct workers reported they were on their way from Rockfish to Raeford with the results they were being optimistic, or perhaps hopeful, and weren't quite really on their way.
Nearly an hour and several unanswered phone calls later, board officials were beginning to get really concerned and were even about ready to bring in the sheriff's department. But alas, the results arrived.
