I know that Nifong won the Democratic primary a couple of weeks ago, winning with 45% of the vote. Freda Black came in second with 42% of the vote. I know at the present time, there is no opposition on the Republican side running against Nifong. So unless the Republicans put up a candidate to run against Nifong, then he has will almost definitely will be reelected as Durham County DA.

I read where another candidate can run against Nifong and have their name included on the ballot, if they file by the end on June, as a Republican?

I would like to suggest that the Republicans get together and recruit Freda Black to run again against Nifong. Black pulled in a very good percentage of the Democrats in the primary. If Black would choose to run as a Republican, and she kept a good percentage of those who supported her in the primary, and in addition, she were to capture a sizable majority of the Republican voters, then maybe we would see Nifong defeated at the polls in November.

I would also think she would receive a lot of campaign contributions for her campaign from the many people who are disgusted with the way this DA has handled this case.

If not Freda, then please, I call on the Durham County Republicans put up another candidate?

I think state law prohibits her from running once she lost the primary.
