Finals until canvass

Numbers posted tonight are unofficial until a canvass on Nov. 13 by the Board of Election. The News-Journal's numbers do not include "over votes" and "under votes," as reported to the state board. That keeps the totals from matching but does not affect the outcome of the vote.

Any time now

We have someone at the BOE who says results should begin to flow shortly...

First results delayed due to state issue

Normally, we can report absentee and one-stop voting results when polls close at 7:30 p.m. on Election Day. This time, we're told by the Hoke Board of Elections, the state is requiring all counties to delay releasing the numbers because in another county a precinct or precincts did not open on time today. The board has therefore extended their voting time until 8:15. At that time, we're expecting our first results.
