Rep. Phil Baddour, the House majority leader since 1999, lost to Republican Louis Pate after a hand recount in Wayne County completed Friday afternoon gave Pate a 174-vote victory, a county elections official said.
Along with the GOP defeat of Rep. Alice Underhill, D-Craven, in another recount completed Friday, Republicans will have a 61-59 lead over Democrats in the chamber starting in January.
Baddour appeared to have won by nearly 900 votes after Election Day, but Pate took the lead a few days later when straight-ticket ballots not counted by voting machines were tallied.
You retraction?
he was just a ringer…gotta make it look good here and there
