Incumbent Paul Hillegonds and fellow Republican Susan Haroutunian held early leads Tuesday in their efforts to win two seats on the Wayne State University Board of Governors. Both incumbents said they realized where Wayne State fits in with one of the most hotly contested presidential races in history. But the fate of their race, both said, depended largely on how motivated people were to get to the polls to vote in the contest between Republican President George W. Bush and Democrat Sen. John Kerry. "In reality, it's a small portion of the electorate that pays attention to these board races," said Hillegonds. Fellow incumbent Annetta Miller said the Wayne State race is not always decided on party lines. "It varies with whether you're talking about a gubernatorial race at the top of the ticket or a presidential race," she said.
