N. Carolina Elections Office Previews Election Day Count

Jared Brumbaugh

North Carolina’s elections office is predicting that at the end of Election Day it will be able to tally and report at least 97% of all ballots cast. The N.C. State Board of Elections said in a news release Sunday that it will post results as quickly as possible but that its primary objective will be an accurate count. There’s a good chance Americans won’t know the winner of Tuesday’s presidential election when they go to bed that night. In North Carolina, mail-in ballots are not due until Nov. 12 if postmarked by Election Day.
