Partial revote in school board election

A revote in three precincts in south Baldwin County is the best way to determine the winner in the Baldwin County Board of Education District 5 race involving Angie Swiger and incumbent Margaret Long, the statewide Republican Steering Committee ruled Friday.

The state committee’s decision affirmed an earlier ruling by a Baldwin County Republican committee, said state Republican Communications Director Philip Bryan.

That means the party wants a revote of District 5 voters at polling places in Magnolia Springs, Foley and Elberta.

The second-chance election would be conducted July 15
