Update On Georgia CD-10

I'll probably make this the last update before the precincts-in number reaches about 96%. With 77% of precincts in, Whitehead certainly has this one locked up and the key thrown away. He has 39% of the vote, Marlow has 23%, and Broun has 22%. Greene now has under 3% of the vote. Most of the rest of the precincts are in Columbia County, where Whitehead should continue to get good results. To find out more about the new congressman who will replace Charlie Norwood, click here. He seems to be against amnesty for illegal aliens, in support of family values and has strong respect for human life, and it seems he will protect taxpayers. Congratulations to Congressman-elect Whitehead, and I hope and trust that he will be a reliable conservative who stands on principle.

A run-off election looks likely, but expect Whitehead to win that one pretty handily.

Whitehead represented District 24 in the Georgia State Senate. A special election was held today to decide who would take Whitehead's seat there. With 80% of precincts in, a winner can be declared in that race. William Jackson, a Republican, has 61% of the vote. Behind him is Scott Nichols, a Democrat, with 21 percent of the vote. In third is Brett McGuire, a Republican, with 15 percent, and in fourth is Lee Benedict, a Republican, with 4 percent. Congratulations to Jackson on a very good win. I hope he represents the people of Georgia well, and I hope he stands on principle as he does that.
