All 80 precincts have reported in Buncombe County. The ever popular Van Duncan won the Democrat primary for sheriff with 88.16% of the vote. Weavervillians approved the only non-person election of which I am aware in WNC. Called the “Town of Weaverville Mixed Beverage Election,” the measure passed with 76.71% approval. The measure formerly went by the nickname “liquor by the drink,” and was defeated three years ago. If at first you don’t succeed, buddy have another. Hiccough! (I would have voted against.)
