Gilmer County August 11 runoff election returns – FINAL
News August 11, 2020
GILMER COUNTY, Ga – The polls have closed for the August 11 runoff election. To review the unofficial election returns for your local, state, and federal races, check out the list below. Please remember all the results are unofficial until certified by the Secretary of State.
Probate Judge Scott Chastain said he will be reporting results in sets tonight as opposed to individual precincts. With this change, readers should stay tuned as FYN will not be providing single precinct updates for Gilmer as we usually do. However, we will provide instant updates each time the results are reported.
With a mechanical error being worked on, the final tallies are being delayed in Gilmer’s election. According to Probate Judge Scott Chastain, they are working on the issue but have attempted to run mail in ballots twice without success. Mail-in ballots total 1,785 ballots according to Chastain. With the Magistrate race at a 220 difference, there is still a chance for this race to go either way.

Gilmer County is a lot slower than surrounding counties as far as voting results are concerned!
Snails are delivering the count. Glad it wasn’t a full blown election.
Mechanical error??? Only in Gilmer County. Or, maybe something fishy is going on! Wouldn’t be the first time.
I guess censorship from the Sheriff is in play here.
