Congressional Race down to the wire
The race for the District 8 seat in the U.S. House
of Representatives was too close to call at press
time. According to election returns from the office
of the Georgia Secretary of State at 11:30 p.m.,
Incumbent Jim Marshall, Democrat, had lead with
a count of 75,309 district-wide to Republican Mac
Collins' 72,676, but a number of precincts still had to
be reported, and in Houston County, a Republican
stronghold, there were still absentee ballots to be
added to the total.
Collins, at the last count available was leading in
Houston County with 10,967 votes to Marshall's 9909.
In short, the hard-fought race could go either way
by the final count.
Middle School and Houston
County High School, two
polling places today. Flint
Energies spokesman Jimmy
Autry said the two schools
are the only two in the coun-
Perera. At press time, Sellier
had 67.4 percent of the vote,
leading Perera 8,247 to
3,983.
In Houston, Sellier had
2012 votes to Perera’s
1,133.
