The Sun-Herald today editorialized about Tuesday's election: "Last year, 43,466 Harrison Countians decided it was worth a trip to the polls to vote on a flag. This week, 22,280 Harrison Countians decided it was worth a trip to the polls to vote on who would be the Democratic or Republican party nominee for governor.

"That's a difference of 21,166 - more than enough to have thrown the race for the Democrat Party's nomination for lieutenant governor into a runoff. Had, of course, all those votes gone one way."
