Soucek's critics claim that a great majority of ETJ residents oppose his ETJ removal bill. <br /><br />Then the question becomes why did he apparently carry most if not all of the Watauga precincts that include parts of the ETJ. It's almost impossible to know for sure, but the election results suggest, at the least, that the ETJ issue was not a major negative factor for him among Watauga County voters outside of the Town limits.

To the best of my knowledge, Soucek is going to be our Senator again.<br /><br />Whining about his winning a few of the liberal precincts in and around Boone won't change the results. <br /><br />Welcome back SENATOR Soucek!Happy Republicannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-22407079072796260252014-11-25T18:15:34.920-05:002014-11-25T18:15:34.920-05:00Anon 10:28

It remains to be seen if he carried NR 2 after the early votes are distributed. Are you certain about NR 2 or just speculating?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-60948954633672600972014-11-21T17:44:47.413-05:002014-11-21T17:44:47.413-05:00anon 10:28 Source, please.

His opponent had very little name recognition in the county. He should've won by more.

He actually did better in Watauga than he did in 2012 when he lost the County to Cullie Tarilton. This time, I believe Soucek carried every precinct that had ETJ areas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
