With all precincts, including provisional ballots, now counted, Wilkesboro Democrat Chuck Hubbard has widened his lead over incumbent Republican Virginia Foxx. Hubbard’s advantage has grown to 335 votes, 139,788 to 139,453, over Foxx, with Libertarian Robert B. Luffman receiving 7,579 votes. After all precincts were counted on Election Day and the day after, Hubbard held a 99-vote advantage, but the newer numbers reflect all provisional ballots. Surry County, as is the case with other counties in the Fifth District, will hold the official voter canvass on Friday. Any additional military or overseas ballots postmarked by Election Day and received by 5 p.m. on Nov. 12 will be added to the totals.

According to unofficial election night results, Hubbard led Foxx by 99 votes. Since then, more than 1,600 provisional ballots were counted across the congressional district. Surry County had one of the highest totals of provisional ballots at 244, while Watauga had 344 and Rockingham had 340. After all of the provisionals were counted Foxx still
