If what the Complementary Spouse and I experienced is any indication, turnout will be sparse. We went to vote on Friday and were the 16th and 17th voters in a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buncombecounty.org\/common\/election\/registration-statistics\/2024\/3-19-us-congressional-district.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">county with almost 45,000 registered Republicans!<\/a><\/strong> This doesn&#8217;t even count the number of unaffiliated voters who are also eligible to vote in the GOP primary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other counties may have a higher turnout as they may have a Congressional candidate for whom to vote. In Buncombe County, it was only the race for Lt. Governor and the race for State Auditor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a reminder, the Grass Roots North Carolina &#8211; Political Victory Fund has these <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grnc.org\/grnc-pvf\/grnc-pvf-alertsupdates\/1560-2024-grnc-pvf-runoff-candidate-recommendations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recommendations<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>US 6th Congressional District &#8211; <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcdowellfornc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Addison McDowell<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; his opponent Mark Walker has dropped out but there still may have a runoff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>US 13th Congressional District &#8211; <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bradknottforcongress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brad Knott<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lt.
