Erica McAdoo (D) said that she has not conceded to her opponent, incumbent Stephen Ross '73 (R). With only a couple hundred votes between the two, McAdoo said she is still evaluating the option of a recount.

Absentee and provisional ballots are still coming in, which could determine the winner of the race.

The North Carolina State Board of Elections reports 50.49 percent of votes going to Ross '73 and 49.51 percent to McAdoo.

North Carolina does not have an automatic recount policy, but the margin is close enough for a candidate to call for a recount.

Elon adjunct faculty raise concerns over missing professor names on OnTrack

With the approach of spring semester’s end, students scour OnTrack to build their academic schedules, looking at the times available and selecting their preferred professors. Senior Alex Campbell said she noticed this past semester that adjunct professors, who are hired on a contractual basis each semester or year, she previously had classes with were not appearing on OnTrack. “It’s pretty upsetting because two of my favorite professors are adjuncts that I’ve had classes with in the past,” Campbell said. “Since the change, I can’t purposefully take classes with them because I don’t know what classes they’re even teaching because they don’t show up.”
