VS.
The first state has narrowed it down to two... The fight for the Governor office is now down to the State Treasurer Jack Markell for the Democrat Party and former Superior Court judge Bill Lee for the Republican Party. This primary turnout was a record shattering turnout with nearly 103,000 people voting.
In yesterdays primary Jack markell defeated Lt. Governor John Carney Jr. with 51.2% voting for Markell and 48.8% for Carney. The Democrat primary results are considered to be major upset as Lt. Governor Carney was favored to win. Former Superior Court judge bill Lee defeated Mike Protack with 71.9% of the vote. Bill Lee is following up with his second Governor bid after losing to Governor Minner in a close race in 2004. Protack's name will still appear on the general election ballot for the Independent Party of Delaware.
So far it has been the costliest gubernatorial race in Delaware's history with over $5 million spent so far.
