Party chairs weigh in on election results

Local Democratic and Republican leadership believe the execution of Marion County’s election on Tuesday, Nov. 3, was a success.
Both candidates provided their opinions to the Journal Record prior to the majority of the media outlets projecting Joe Biden as president-elect on Saturday, Nov. 7.
Marion County Republican Chairman David Hall said he was very pleased with how the election was conducted locally, commending the work of Marion County Probate Judge Paige Vick, Absentee Ballot Election Manager Denise Mixon and Marion County Sheriff Kevin Williams.
Hall noted that turnout in the county outpaced the statewide rate.
