Write-in votes and roughly 100 mail-in and nursing home votes will be processed today by a panel of Morgan County Clerk’s Office judges.
County Clerk Jill Waggener said that, while the write-in votes were processed Tuesday, a second panel of judges will review them to verify the count and to process the roughly 100 mail-in ballots received by the county.
“We have 14 days after any election to finalize our results,” Waggener said.
While all results are unofficial until the clerk certifies them, most races can be unofficially called. But races such as the South Jacksonville and Murrayville presidential races are not clear.
