A close call for Chief Justice in North Carolina
Published December 10, 2020
And it gives us a chance to salute the unsung heroes who do the counting.
There never has been a statewide election in North Carolina as close as the race for Chief Justice between Democratic incumbent Cheri Beasley and Republican Paul Newby, an associate justice on the Court.
As of last Friday, Newby led Beasley by 401 votes out of 5,391,404. That’s a margin of 0.0074%
That makes Attorney General Josh Stein’s 13,623-vote tight-as-a-drum reelection over Jim O’Neill (50.13%-49.87%) look like a landslide.
We won’t know the winner until the process plays out, and it runs on two tracks.

Raleigh, N.C. A bipartisan U.S. Senate committee this week concluded that the federal government’s failed oversight of a program to shelter unaccompanied migrant children cost taxpayers $32 million for several planned facilities that will never open, including one in North Carolina.
The report from the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations was released Tuesday after a year-long probe focusing on two companies, VisionQuest National and New Horizon Group Home. Both firms received multimillion-dollar grants from the federal Department of Health and Human Services to house children swept up by immigration officials while traveling alone or separated from their families.

Public trust in the COVID-19 vaccine is lacking.
According to a recent survey out of Elon University, nearly 40 percent of North Carolinians asked said they would take the vaccine should it be approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and 56 percent think the vaccine is safe.
By contrast, research shows support for a vaccine drops off significantly among people of color. The COVID Collaborative, a bipartisan research group, reports only 14 percent of Black people and 34 percent of Latino community members trust the vaccine s safety. The Kaiser Family Foundation s study produced similar results - 17 percent of Black people, 37 percent of white people and 37 percent of Latinos would be willing to get the shots.
