Justice Harris wasn't slated.
And tonight, at least as this juncture, it looks like Justice Harris may be winning his fight tonight.
Judge Freddrenna M. Lyle, the slated candidate is leading in these late City numbers:
DEM - Appellate Court Judge (Vac of Gordon) |
1782 out of 2069 precincts (86.13 %) |
Shelly A. Harris | 46,444 | 35.71 % |
Susan Kennedy Sullivan | 33,524 | 25.78 % |
Freddrenna M. Lyle | 50,088 | 38.51 % |
But Justice Harris makes up this deficit and more in the latest suburban returns:

The margin of only 5,600 votes is so close that I wouldn't dare say this race is over at this point. There are lot more City precincts still to report than there are suburban ones. But here is where things stand now.
In the race for the Steele vacancy on the Appellate Court, it does look like Justice John B. Simon, the Democratic Party's slated candidate, will prevail over Judge Sharon Oden Johnson.
