With all precincts reporting in the Republican Primary Runoff
for Lowndes County Commission District 5 (West half of the county),
the numbers are:
| Jody T. Hall | 48.06% | 855 |
|---|---|---|
| John P. Page | 51.94% | 924 |
| Total votes | 1,779 |
So how is the election not decided yet? Provisional ballots, which won’t be completely sorted out until Friday. Those are for people who may have been in the wrong district or there was some other irregularity that must be deciphered. It’s unlikely there are enough of those to swing this election, but it’s possible. I congratulated both candidates.
There is no Democratic candidate, so less than 2,000 people are deciding who will be the County Commissioner representing about 55,000 people.

One of those last two people, as County Commission Chair, will have to organize the Commission including whoever wins this race. I got them to grin by saying “Ashley Paulk.”
