WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — The winner of the Houston County District Attorney’s race was decided shortly before 6 p.m. Wednesday after the county went through 20,000 absentee ballots.
The winner of the race was unclear Tuesday night and for most of Wednesday as elections officials worked quickly to process thousands of absentee ballots.
Andy Holland says they began counting around 10 a.m. and then a vote review panel came in the afternoon to adjudicate absentee ballots.
With all votes totaled, incumbent District Attorney George Hartwig won reelection with 38,007 votes and his challenger Erikka Williams ended with 35,176.
