Merrick's lead narrows in NC House race after provisional votes counted

The inclusion of provisional and absentee ballots has slimmed the margin in a tight race for N.C. House District 20 ahead of the official results. New Hanover County Board of Elections counted the additional 1,036 provisional and 90 absentee ballots on Nov. 10. Democrat Tim Merrick holds the lead with 22,160 votes at 50.09% of the electorate — 81 votes ahead of Republican Dane Scalise, who holds 22,079 votes, or 49.91%. Merrick initially led by 101 votes. The results are unofficial until the county canvass on Friday, Nov. 13. The race is eligible for a recount upon request from Scalise. Following the results on election night, Scalise declined to comment on a potential recount. According to the State Board of Elections, a candidate who did not win in a non-statewide contest can demand a recount if the difference between a winning candidate and the candidate demanding the recount is 1% or less of the total votes cast in the contest. Any mandatory recounts would be completed by county boards after the county canvass and should be completed prior to the state canvass.
