Georgia's high court reverses invalidation of McIntosh vote.

This is an election challenge you probably did not even know was going on, but one you will join me in rejoicing in the ultimate outcome.

The Georgia Supreme Court has reversed a lower court that had invalidated McIntosh County Sheriff Charles "Chunk" Jones' 36-vote election win over challenger Stephen Jessup.

Sheriff Jones is black, and this victory in the courts represents an important win for the Democrats in McIntosh County.

First Congressional District Chair Danita Knowles has been in constant contact with Sheriff Jones, and had assured him we would do anything in the world we could, including bringing in help from the remainder of the 1st Congressional District, to help him prevail yet a second time in the event a new election had been ordered by the Georgia Supreme Court.

Congratulations are in order to Sheriff Jones and his Savannah counsel Bart Turner.
