There will be no recount of the Tallapoosa County Rocky Creek polling location for the Tom Whatley for State Senate Campaign. But the contesting of the results of the election where political newcomer Jay Hovey leads three-term incumbent Whatley by one vote for State Senate District 27 continues.

Whatley’s campaign informed the Tallapoosa County Republican Party of the request earlier this week.
