Despite the myriad of Republican candidates for the gubernatorial race in Alabama stopping through Tallapoosa County in past weeks, incumbent Governor Kay Ivey was still the crowd favorite Tuesday.

Tallapoosa County voters overwhelmingly voted for Ivey, with Ivey gathering 54.61 percent of the votes. Behind her were Lindy Blanchard with 19.86 percent and Tim James with 16.76 percent. All other candidates stayed in single-digit percentages.
