The Republican who will face Democrat Warren Judge in the Nov. 8 general election to elect the new representative for the 6^th District in the North Carolina House of Representatives had not been determined as of 10 p.m. Tuesday, but Ashley Woolard held about a 4.5-percent lead in the district-wide vote total at that time.

Only five of Dare County’s 16 precincts had reported vote totals by 10:10 p.m. Tuesday, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections’ website. Vote totals from the remaining 11 precincts could put Boswell in the lead. She was outpolling Woolard in her home county.

The winner of the general election will replace Rep. Paul Tine, who is not seeking re-election. In January 2015, Tine changed his party affiliation from Democrat to unaffiliated.

With 33 of the district’s 44 precincts reporting at that time, Ashley Woolard had 2,965 votes to Beverly Boswell’s 2,610 votes in the GOP primary. The district includes part of Beaufort County and all of Hyde, Dare and Washington counties. Judge, as of 10 p.m. Tuesday, had 5,524 votes (71 percent) to Judy Justice’s 2,255 votes (26.2 percent) with 31 of the 44 precincts reporting.

Woolard, who lives in Washington, appears to have carried Beaufort County. With 15 of 15 precincts reporting as of 10 p.m. Tuesday, Woolard had 2,131 votes (43.65 percent) to Boswell’s 1,509 votes (30.91 percent).

Woolard carried all precincts in Washington County with 308 votes (51.25 percent) to Boswell’s 132 votes (21.96 percent), according to Washington County Board of Elections data. Williams tallied 161 votes (26.79 percent).

In the GOP primary district-wide, Boswell collected 1,054 votes in the early voting period (including absentee ballots) to Woolard’s 880 votes. Though he withdrew from the GOP primary for the 6^th District, Arthur Williams, a Beaufort County resident, garnered 499 votes during the early voting period. In Beaufort County, Williams collected 1, 242 votes (25.44 percent). His name was on the ballot because he withdrew from the contest after ballots for the primaries were printed.

In the Democratic primary, Judge carried all of Washington County with 1,696 votes (81.03 percent) to 398 votes (18.97 votes) for Judy Justice, according to Washington County Board of Elections figures.

Judge tallied 1,631 votes during the early voting period to 747 votes for Justice.

Tuesday’s vote totals are unofficial. Boards of elections will canvass ballots Tuesday. Election protests must be filed by March 24.

Primaries for the U.S. House of Representatives will be held June 7. They had been scheduled for Tuesday, but the North Carolina General Assembly had to redraw congressional district maps after a federal three-judge panel ruled that the state’s 1^st and 12^th districts were unconstitutional because race was used in setting their boundaries.
