Kenly Mayoral Race: Twists & Turns

In Kenly, North Carolina, a mayoral race took a dramatic turn with a series of vote count shifts. Initially, challenger Keith Davis led by eight votes, but a computer error flipped the results, giving incumbent Mayor H.L. Tooie Hales a one-vote lead. However, two provisional ballots later, Davis regained the lead by a single vote. The race took an unexpected twist with a residency challenge, alleging Davis primarily resides in South Carolina. A formal protest has been filed, and a discretionary recount and hearing are scheduled, adding complexity to the already unusual election. DNN | The Daily News Now!
