New Media Producer: Kerry Corum

There's finally a winner in the District Two Gibson County Council race:

Challenger, Cecil Allen.

Election Recount Commission members meet in the courthouse basement recounting, voter precincts to determine a winner.

They say Allen beat out incumbent, George Ankenbrand, by nine votes.

The Recount Commission then had to present the results in court, to Judge Penrod for certification.

Cecil Allen says, "It's pretty exciting. I tell ya, I was kind of worried there for a little bit, because we were kind of running neck-and-neck. I think I was ahead by one vote, but the last few precincts pulled me out."
