Will the Wake school board District 2 race be on the November ballot? For now, Wake County elections director Cherie Poucher isn’t sure since Cathy Truitt has now withdrawn her request for the runoff. That action, according to this story, is different from simply withdrawing from the race.
Poucher said Truitt’s request to rescind the runoff is a totally different issue that’s not covered under state law. She said that if Truitt had only dropped out of the race that state law would require the runoff to continue, costing more than $30,000.
“Since it’s not addressed by the law, it’s something to bring to the state board,†Poucher said.
The State Board of Elections could decide whether to hold the runoff on Monday while they meet to discuss the ongoing Mike Easley campaign finance investigation.
