Election officials must hand count around 48,000 ballots in the Buncombe County district two commission race. The State Board of Elections made the decision Tuesday afternoon at the request of two candidates. This will be the fourth count in this race. The top two candidates will be seated on the commission. Less than one percent separates all four. The count begins Thursday, but those results won't be certified until a separate appeal is ruled on by the state board as well.\nFollow Russ on Twitter @RussBowenNews13 _______________ Follow WLOS on social media: WLOS ABC 13 News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/News13/ WLOS ABC 13 News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WLOS_13 WLOS ABC 13 News on Instagram: https://instagram.com/wlos_13 Subscribe to WLOS on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ABC13Channel/?sub_confirmation=1 Listen to AnchorMOMS, the Podcast: https://wlos.com/news/anchormoms/anchormoms-the-podcast Watch more top local news stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk8Ge6UXHJs&list=PLkVbaoT-aYbIvnEpR0Ct5QQQqYaORUSUH For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.wlos.com Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://wlos.com/watch Have a news tip?
