Dare County Republicans sweep local races
Local Republicans clinched all seats on the Board of Commissioners and Board of Education after Tuesday’s election, with 25,159 out of 34,103 eligible voters (73.77%) casting ballots in Dare County.
Dare County voters also leaned Republican on all state and federal races, with 58.74% of local ballots cast for Trump, 51.35% for Mark Robinson, (who lost the statewide Governor race to Josh Stein), and approximately 60% of county ballots cast for Republican candidates in all other state races.
As of 4:00 a.m. Wednesday, the only local race without a clear winner was the Dare Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor race, which was a write-in only option. Hatteras Island resident Brian Harris announced his intention to run as a candidate in October, and the contest had 4,714 responses.
