Party awaits local results

Though Obama has secured his win, the Republican Party has not forgotten that local offices are also at stake.

Michael Lincoln, who is currently serving as a White County Judge, is looking for two more years. Most expect him to get the win.

"I want to thank everyone for voting," Lincoln said. "That's what keeps America great. And I think the younger generation should continue to exercise that right."

Lincoln vowed that, should he win, he will work for the benefit of the people, not just along party lines.

Kyle Reeves, who is running for State Representative, was also at the party at the Underground, but he declined to comment.

Hariet Raley, a poll worker, is very confident in how local elections would end.

"I would like a strong Republican outcome," Raley said. "I would like to tell [competitors] Snyder and Pryor that we strongly disagree with what they are doing. And their lack of conduct and honesty."

Local elections are currently being tallied.

Current results:

White County Judge
Lincoln 2268
Gillam 1068

State Representative District 50
Betts 1143
Reeves 1042

White County District Judge
Pate 2183
Worley 1226

State Representative District 49
Dismang 740
Williams 470
