"Aiken and Crisco may head to a runoff election in July. Incumbent Representative Renee Ellmers won the Republican nomination for the seat." WUNC News.
Funny how 11 years flew by from Singing votes all over the USA to District votes in North Carolina.
This time Aiken is being judged by the Cable Lobbyists, Talk show hosts, Superpac's and other Politicians and it will be crazier than Aiken a decade ago.
I don't know North Carolina politics well enough to judge whether this will be divisive or not, but our forum guidelines discourage political discussion that isn't about roads, so it would probably be best to leave this to Huffington Post or Nate Silver or Fox News or whatever.
