I’m told that Lowndes County is the only county in Georgia that has real time election results. Someone noticed:

“Elections Supervisor Deb Cox awarded Lowndes County IT Director Aaron Kostyu with a plaque and thanked him and the IT staff for helping the Board of Elections become recognized as one of the five best elections offices in the state.”

The plaque reads:

Thanks to Aaron Kostyu IT Director
and Staff
For service far above and beyond
Your necessary duties. We wouldn’t be the best
without you on the elections team!
JANUARY 2010

Aaron seems to be in the newspaper a lot lately. Here’s a writeup about him from December.
