Election Commission certifies general election results

Jefferson County election commissioners on Friday (Nov. 13) certified results of the Nov. 3 general election, which was highlighted by a recount in the sheriff’s race that confirmed the original count. In that race, independent challenger Chris Lowery has officially won by 228 votes, one fewer than the recount confirmed. After adjudicated and overseas ballots were counted, Lowery gained 19 more votes for 8,541, while Democratic Sheriff Lafayette Woods Jr. gained 20 more votes for 8,313. Commissioners voted to approve minutes detailing that the manual audit of the votes were signed on Election Night. That was when each commissioner — Chairman Michael Adam, Sharon Hardin and Carl Watson — signed a copy of the audit, which breaks down the number of ballots cast at each precinct and during Election Day. A vocal vote was taken Nov. 4 when the commission adjudicated the outstanding ballots.
