It's official: The November election is over.
The State Board of Elections signed off Tuesday on the results, approving the numbers in a canvass that brought no objections.
Elections director Gary Bartlett said that the board usually hears up to 10 election concerns, but there were no protests and the only pending issue had already been investigated.
"Zero issues — it doesn't get any better than that," he said.
He attributed the quiet to luck and training. Two candidates for school board in Nash County were inadvertently left off the ballot, but they had no opposition.
Two potential trouble spots turned out to be non-issues: The high volume of voters and the tricky "straight-ticket" ballot.
Bob Hall of Democracy North Carolina said he'd like to expand early voting, which was a success. (AP)
