Stokes wins District 7 race

In the District 7 County Commission race, incumbent Connie Stokes scored a commanding win over challenger Willie R. Mosley Jr. She took 80 percent of the vote, compared to 20 percent for Mosley. Stokes will not face a Republican challenger in November.

A neighborhood blackout left poll workers and voters sweating in at least one of the District 7 precincts — Trinity Presbyterian Church in Decatur. The voting machines run on backup batteries and voting was never interrupted, said poll manager Christine Hameed. She said 231 people had voted as of 5:45 p.m.
