In the November 4 election, Chris Hogan and Morris Shambley ran for the two open seats to serve on the Board of Supervisors for Orange County’s Soil and Water Conservation District.

Both men won easily, garnering 33,395 and 32,108 votes respectively. But nearly 900 Orange County voters took advantage of the write-in option on the ballot to add a bit of levity at the end of a long and grueling mid-term campaign season.

Some notable names:

-UNC athletes P.J. Hairston, Marcus Paige and Brice Johnson

-Deborah Crowder and Jan Boxill, both of whom were implicated in the Wainstein Report on academic fraud at UNC

-elected officials Damon Seils, Lee Storrow and Earl McKee

-former vice-presidential candidate John Edwards

-celebrities Eric Clapton, Ted Nugent, Vince McMahon and Hunter S Thompson

-two votes each for WCHL’s Morning Show host Ron Stutts and Chapelboro columnist Jeff Danner

-two for fictional Game of Thrones character Eddard Stark.

The majority of the write-ins were presumably for friends or family members. A few voters seemingly got confused, writing in the names of candidates running in Wake County.
