SPLOST Wins!
Wednesday, November 6th, 2013
So far, with 7,144 votes counted and only provisional ballots outstanding, SPLOST wins by a wide margin, 69 percent to 31 percent.
It looks like Valdosta city council incumbents Robert Yost and Alvin Payton are clear winners, with Sandra Tooley holding on to an early lead over her opponent in the District Two race with 48 percent of the votes.
In a hotly contested Hahira Mayoral race, Bruce Cain is winning by five votes over Rose Adams, but with provisional ballots still uncounted, the race is too close to call. According to Elections supervisor Deb Cox, Hahira's council voted to delete the 50 percent plus one vote provision, allowing the one with the most votes to win with no run off necessary.
