Ballots cast for all of Orange County was 17.96% (13,745 out of 76,551
registered voters). I don't know how many were just the Town of Chapel
Hill. Part of the Town of Chapel Hill lies in Durham County. 22
precincts of the Town lie in Orange county; 2 lie in Durham County.
At one point during the counting, it looked like Nancy Oates was going to win by
a single vote over Tai Huynh, but then viewers realized that the two precincts
in Durham had not been counted. Those two precincts swung the count in
favor of Tai.
Carmen and Louis dropped out of the
school board race but too late to have their names removed from the ballot.
Pam, Jessica, Amy, Nancy, and
Renuka were CHALT endorsed candidates. I lobbied for all five for 16 hours
spread over five different poll greeting stints (October 22, 25, 29, November 1
and 5). I also encouraged voters to vote for the four
school board candidates who eventually won.
Look at how close the battle was
for the 4th Town Council seat. Only 85 votes separated four people for
that final spot. This election clearly demonstrated that every vote
matters.

Friendenemies
Poll greeters
during the last shift on Election Day at Grace Church
Left-to-right: Hannah
Snow (campaign manager for Tai Huynh), Woody Setzer (Booker Creek precinct
chair), Camille Berry, and me.
We're all Democrats, but I
represented CHALT, and the other three represented non-CHALT candidates.
You might call us "Friendenemies" because our time together was a roller
coaster of laughs and tension. We got along super well ... until a
voter approached. Then, it was me versus the other three to
influence the voter.
