The State Board of Elections has finished for the day and intends to begin discussing the case in closed session Thursday morning.
Board chairman Larry Leake told lawyers he expected the board to emerge from their closed session at 9:45 a.m.
The day was a slog through details of how the N.C. Democratic Party handled its campaign money. But the big events of the day came when lawyers delivered their closing arguments.
EASLEY GOES ALL IN: Gov. Mike Easley, through his lawyer, says he's innocent but wants the case referred to the Wake County District Attorney.
NO HARM: Lawyers for the N.C. Democratic Party and Easley's campaign said in closing statements that no crimes have been committed. The party maintains it followed the law. Easley's campaign acknowledges it should have accounted for all of its flights. Both sides say they forfeited money to make up for the problems.
