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.
