Cliff Williams / The Outlook State Sen. Tom Whatley (R-Auburn) speaks at a meeting of the Tallapoosa County Republican Party Thursday night.

There will be no more hearings and no coin flip in the Alabama Republican Party to decide the Senate District 27 race.

Three-term incumbent Tom Whatley has conceded the race to Jay Hovey, more than a month after ballots were cast in the race in one of Alabama’s closest races stretching beyond county lines.
