Final Election Updates - No Recount

Last Tuesday's runoff elections included several races that were extremely close. The closest race was for Winston County Tax Assessor/Collector where Larry Woodward defeated Janet Jackson by only 16 votes out of 5858 total votes cast. Because of the slim vote difference in this race, there was speculation that a recount may be requested. Circuit Clerk Kim Ming indicated today that no recount had been requested and the vote counts will stand.
