Many Internet users turned first to the John Locke Foundation for election-related news content. BlogNetNews.com North Carolina cited four JLF blogs among the top five most influential political blogs in the state for primary election week. The Triangle’s Right Angles blog topped the list, with The Locker Room No. 2, The Meck Deck No. 3, and Squall Lines No. 5. (Only the News & Observer‘s “Under The Dome” broke the JLF lock on the top spots.) The Triad’s Piedmont Publius also ranked No. 7. Speaking of election news, The Wilson Daily Times quoted John Hood’s reaction to the overwhelming vote against local tax increases in 22 of 24 counties that sought sales or land-transfer increases last week.
