So it looks like we will have runoffs in District 1 and District 7 and I would imagine a recount in District 3.  All in all, we are disheartened to see that the incumbents did so well. We were really looking forward to a big change on the DeKalb Board of Education.

On another educational note, John Barge was elected our new state superintendent of schools with 55% of the vote over Joe Martin's 40%.  (I misreported that Martin had won - but he only won in DeKalb precincts.)
