ELECTION UPDATE: Incumbents win big in Colquitt County

MOULTRIE, Ga. — Unofficial vote totals, including some 3,300 absentee ballots, handed victory to local incumbents in five of six contested races Tuesday. 

The only local race not won by an incumbent was the race for District 4 Colquitt County Commission, in which no incumbent ran.

Three contested races were in the Republican primary, but none will have Democratic opposition in November. The other three were in nonpartisan races, so winners in those races have won their offices outright.
