NC-04: Foushee narrowly leads in Democratic primary; recount likely
The Democratic primary for North Carolina’s 4th Congressional District is heading to a likely recount, with incumbent Valerie Foushee leading by 1% of the vote.
In unofficial results, Foushee won 49.22% of the vote, just 1.01% more than the 48.21% for Durham County Commissioner Nida Allam. Mary Patterson won 2.6%. Foushee leads Allam by 1,202 votes out of nearly 122,000 primary votes cast.
Provisional ballots and some military and overseas votes are yet to be counted. If the margin is 1% or less after those votes are counted, Allam may request a mandatory recount.
Allam took the stage at her watch party just before midnight, addressing supporters, staff and press after about five hours.
