Britt Cobb (D) has finally conceded the race for N.C. Agriculture commissioner. Carteret county's ultra-modern computerized voting system lost over 4000 provisional votes because it was out of storage space (How small was that hard drive and what lugnut wrote the software? 120GB drives are sixty bucks for Pete's sake and can hold more votes than there are people on earth). As a taxpayer I wasn't looking forward to footing the $3.5 million dollar bill for a revote, and Carteret is heavily Republican, so there's no chance those votes would have made a difference.
Now we have only one contested race, Department of Public Instruction. OK, Fletcher (R) your turn. You're 8000 votes behind and the lead is growing. Give it up and quit wasting our money!
