It seems that all the talk about recounts stopped after Bob Etheridge officially asked for a recount. Through the grapevine I have found out that these counties will begin recounting ballots for the respective contests tomorrow:
Cumberland – 2nd Congressional District, State House District 44, State House District 45
Chatham – 2nd Congressional District
Harnett – 2nd Congressional District
Sampson – 2nd Congressional District
Johnston – 2nd Congressional District
Nash – 2nd Congressional District, 2 School Board seats, 1 County Commissioner seat
Franklin – 2nd Congressional District
Vance – 2nd Congressional District
The following counties will begin recounting ballots on Thursday
Lee – 2nd Congressional District
Wake – 2nd Congressional District
The public may observe these recounts. Call your local Board of Elections for the location and schedule of the recount.
There is nothing to be found on the State Board of Elections website about recounts, but they have posted a meeting notice for the State Canvass on November 23. I have also heard that the counting of the Instant Runoff Contests will now begin on November 29.
