IMAGES: Victors and losers of Winston-Salem's primary election


Created with flickr slideshow.

Here are some photos that didn't make it into our Winston-Salem primary election package for our print edition today. As of early Thursday morning our website has not been updated due to technical difficulties, but pick up a hard copy of the paper to see our election coverage.

2.

The results were not final, but campaign members knew the news would not be good. (photo by Jordan Green)

3. Mayor Allen Joines greets campaign co-chair Steve Strawsburg at his campaign headquarters on Liberty Street after learning that he had won about 85 percent of the early vote. (photo by Jordan Green)
