This election has taken a lot from @DTHCityState and a lot from me personally. Dozens of stories about every facet of this election. Huge investigations. Breaking news. Late nights, stressful conversations and long interviews.

CHCCS Board Chair Rani Dasi and Duke head men's basketball coach Jon Scheyer each got one vote for Carrboro Town Council, too. Scheyer seems like he's got a starting place if he wants to drop his position for the much more lucrative position on the town council.

Hours of counting and guessing and tallying went into this story. Special shoutout to @guimolero and @sam_long16 for helping me figure it all out.

Carrboro Town Council write-ins were a little less crazy, probably because the race was contested. Chapel Hill Town Council candidates Jon Mitchell, Melissa McCullough, Amy Ryan and Theodore Nollert all got two write-ins in Carrboro.

Just a few more names in the CHCCS race, and they're some of my favorites. Marc Hetherington (one of my favorite UNC political science professors), Charlie Brown and Harambe (presumably the gorilla?) all got a write-in. Oh, and a @triblogblog -er.

Tom Ferguson was the man who gave me confidence in my interviewing abilities, just a couple short months ago. He was a truly great guy who founded a great business.

Five notables for Chapel Hill mayoral: sitting mayor Pam Hemminger, council member Michael Parker, former mayoral candidate and council member Hongbin Gu, Edgar Allan Poe (yes, that one) and Roy Williams (yes, that one) got one write-in vote each. What a list.

This is a good time for a quick reminder to use your vote and do your research before going to the polls! Voting is the most important civic duty and our democracy relies on its effective use.
