From the campaign: Georgia Secretary of State reports Effingham County totals with Burns securing 74% of the vote

SAVANNAH, Ga. – Republican Congressional Candidate Max Burns has won a landslide victory over Democrat John Barrow in Effingham County, according to the latest data released by Georgia Secretary of State Cathy Cox.  The release of Effingham County totals had been delayed since last night due to technical difficulties with voting machines.

The huge surge of support for Burns has largely erased Barrow’s earlier narrow lead, and moved the hotly-contested race below the 1% margin threshold for automatic recount under Georgia law.

“We knew the overwhelming support was there for Max in Effingham, and other counties that have not fully reported, and that this race is far from over,” says Burns Campaign Manager Tim Baker.  “We look forward to getting all the final results in so we can determine who won this race.”
