Elections officials: PSC race was not left off runoff ballots

McDonald defeats Blackman

Georgia election officials say they found no evidence that the Public Service Commission race was left off some ballots, and Democrat Daniel Blackman acknowledged Wednesday that he had lost to Republican Lauren “Bubba” McDonald.

Blackman had alleged that voters in 38 counties reported they didn’t see the PSC race or his name listed on their ballots in the Jan. 5 runoff election.

But after reviewing ballot styles and printed records, the secretary of state’s office said Blackman’s claim was unsubstantiated.
