“Most boring town” sounds pretty harsh once I start looking at what is actually around here. There is a lake nearby, quiet walking trails, and enough open countryside to make the whole place feel more peaceful than dull. That distinction matters to me. This small North Carolina community grew...

Canvass period marked by tight races, provisional ballots and hand-to-eye audit

Ahead of the county canvass that will be held by the Surry County Board of Elections to certify election results on Friday just before noon, the board met Thursday morning to conduct a hand-to-eye sample audit. The meeting was held in Room A of the Surry County Service Center. In compliance with North Carolina General Statute 163-182.1(b)(1), each county in the state must conduct a sample audit following the election and before the county canvass in order to ensure the accuracy of voting equipment. These audits were conducted by bipartisan teams in a meeting open to the public. “Required by state law, the sample audit count helps ensure the reliability of election results tabulated by machine,” reads the North Carolina State Board of Elections policy. Under statute compliance, the board randomly selected a “statistically significant” number of precincts or absentee and early voting ballot groupings, which consisted of two randomly selected precincts. Team members then counted votes for one predetermined contest across both precincts they audited. For the 2026 midterm elections, the county boards selected to audit the senate race from randomly selected precincts Stewarts Creek #2 and Eldora. After each of these ballots were audited, the results were then
