Challenges Heard  The challenges continue over a special
election planned for January in Carteret County. A Wake County
judge is hearing complaints filed by the three candidates.
Britt Cobb wants the special election blocked and a new
statewide election in the agriculture commissioner race.  Steve
Troxler, the candidate who is currently leading, is questioning
who can vote in the Carteret County election. He wants only
those 4,000 or so who had a vote lost in a machine malfunction
to cast their ballots.  Meanwhile, Bill Fletcher, Republican
candidate for state superintendent of public instruction, wants
the court to block certification of the November results in his
race, and add it to the Carteret ballot.
