Final Totals from Board of Elections

These are the combined totals from the Hoke Board of Elections tonight in three local contested races. These final numbers are a little higher than what was called into us during the live results, because these include mailed ballots, according to the elections director. The addition of the mailed ballots did not change any of the results. These results are directly from hand-delivered printouts from the elections office.

The close commission race between Robert Wright and Lonnie Baldwin is not finalized yet because the elections board has not counted provisional and absentee ballots. Those counts will take place this Friday and next Thursday. All election results are preliminary until the canvass set for March 13.

Additionally, in the DA race, these numbers are only for Hoke County and do not include totals for Moore County, which also voted in that election.


Hoke County Commissioner (Democrat):
James Leach - 3,538
Lonnie Baldwin - 2,494
Robert A. Wright - 2,461

District Attorney (Republican):
Mike Hardin - 1,691
Arthur Donadio - 278

Register of Deeds (Democrat):
Camille Hurst - 3,546
Obie L. Smith - 1,450
