Results of the Fannin County results came in at 8:22 pm on July 27.  In the Chief Magistrate race, Brian Jones won with 53.3% (1260 votes) to Sherri Walker’s 46.7% (1104 votes).  The difference between the two is 156 votes.  Since there is no Democrat challenger in November, Brian Jones will be Chief Magistrate.

In the School Board race, Chad Galloway won with 59.35% (1305 votes) to Clarence Farmer’s 40.65% (894).  There is no Democrat running for the School Board in November.  Galloway will replace Sandra Mercier.

Fannin’s results will not be official until Friday, as the Board of Elections is still certifying provisional and absentee ballots.  The small number of yet uncounted votes will not be enough to change the election’s outcome.
