Here’s a look at some of the online reactions to the district attorney primary results.

Via the Todd Williams for District Attorney Facebook Page:

Thank you, Buncombe County! I am humbled and honored to be your next District Attorney. — Todd Williams

We are happy to usher in a new era! — Ben Wiggins

Todd, you did what needed to be done long ago, you had the guts to step up; Buncombe County will be a better place for justice. — David Williams 

Now comes the hard part —-but you have the right stuff to do the job!! — Faye Burner

… I hope the first thing you do when you are in office is investigate Ron Moore! He has done a lot of wrong doings to a lot of people. — Cindy Phillips Lytle  

I’m super excited. Moore has done too much injustice to victims and their families! It’s time for a change and thank God we got it today! — MattieWayne Ahhahaa Yesidid

Via the Ron Moore for District Attorney Facebook Page

Thank you, Buncombe County for giving me the chance to serve these last 24 years. It has been my honor and privilege. — Ron Moore

Buncombe County is losing an honest, honorable man who is the walking definition of integrity. I have been both blessed and proud to have called him my boss for the past 15 years. Thanks for all you have done for all of us. — Carol Swords 

Buncombe county politics continue to amaze me to no end. Especially the democratic party of late. What happened to experience, ethics and values? Thanks Ron for your service and for caring about the JEC staff when no one else would. — Carlos L. Showers 

So, will [Register of Deeds] Mr. Drew [Reisinger] issue same sex marriage licenses now?? The progressives have taken over the Buncombe Democratic Party!! — Richard Bernier  

A classy exit. You’ll be missed by so many. Thanks for all your great service! — Susan Gambrell Reinhardt
