Runoff Results
Posted by ReactionaryWHNT just called Beth Kellum the winner in the Court of Criminal Appeals runoff (50,968 vs McLemore’s 42,098, with 94% reporting, 55% to 45%). She faces Democrat Jefferson County Circuit Judge Clyde Jones in the General Election.
Wayne Parker looks to have won the AL-05 House of Representatives candidacy (16,028 vs Guthrie’s 4,330, with 97% reporting, 79% to 21%). He faces Democrat State Senator Parker Griffith in November. Almost 14,000 of the more than 20,000 votes cast were from Madison County.
Twinkle Cavanaugh looks to have won the PSC President candidacy (60,493 vs Chancey’s 40,101, with 94% reporting, 60% to 40%). She faces Democrat former Lieutenant Governor Lucy Baxley in November.
Cory Brown looks to have won the Madison County Tax Collector candidacy (6,370 vs Stafford’s 5,269, with 98% reporting, 55% to 45%). He faces Democrat incumbent Lynda Hall in November. If he wins, he will work to abolish the office (actually combine with the Tax Assessor’s office to form a ‘Revenue Commissioner’ office).
The Madison County unoffical results are here.
The polls were slow today. I put out signs for Cory Brown last night at my polling place, then schmoozed a little at lunch and after work. It was interesting to see which of the neighbors were GOP supporters (the only ballots today at my polling place were GOP); saw most of my Neighborhood Watch, plus a few guys named ‘Coach’.

I hate that i missed you last night! i would have really liked to meet you. Lisa Parker and I were talking yesterday afternoon about how much we enjoyed reading your blog.
I was really encouraged by the number of voters who went to the polls yesterday inspite of the fact they knew it would be a blow out. That affirms what you said about how much respect people have for Wayne.

Sorry about this comment. My Blackberry posted the above comment in this thread by accident. It belongs in Brian’s post about the results.
