UPDATE*UPDATE*UPDATE*@4:05 PM –
“As of Wednesday morning, Odom was leading Bailey by 1,117 votes out of 786,211 cast. The 0.14% margin is slim enough to require a manual recount under state law … “
“Odom, 38, attributed his apparent victory to a long-term strategy of cultivating support in Black churches and community groups, middle class neighborhoods and among his peers in the courthouse. He came in first in a three-way primary in August, but earned less than 50% of the vote, forcing a runoff with Bailey, who came in second.”
