Decision time for Republicans: Second Primary a possibility in NC Lt. Governor race

This race could be a second primary since none of the candidates met the 30% threshold to be declared the projected winner.

NORTH CAROLINA, USA — The Lieutenant Governor's race was decisive for Democrats with State Senator Rachel Hunt of Mecklenburg County clinching a 70% victory, defeating veterans Ben Clark and Mark H. Robinson. 

On the Republican side, results are much closer. 

Hal Weatherman led the race at 19% compared to Forsyth County District Attorney Jim O'Neill's 15% and former State Senator Deanna Ballard's 14%. 

This race could go to a second primary because none of the candidates met the 30% threshold to be declared the projected winner. 

That second primary would be on May 14 and feature only the top 2 candidates.
