It came down to one vote: Wife of Tangipahoa village police chief elected mayor; controversy ensues

The mayor’s race in the Village of Tangipahoa couldn’t have been closer and still had a winner.
Shelia Martin, a schoolteacher and current village alderman, received 121 votes in the Dec. 5 runoff election. Dawn Gray, a legal assistant in the 21st Judicial District Court public defender’s office, received 120 votes
“As a citizen, you have the right to vote,” Martin said. “If you’re a registered voter, cast your vote. If you aren’t a registered voter, become a registered voter. Every vote counts. Every vote matters.”
Gray has yet to concede, saying she has “become aware of some troubling activity that seems to have contributed to the outcome of the election.” She didn’t divulge what her next move would be.
