SO THIS IS WHAT ?CHANGE? LOOKS LIKE

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

Unless something changes soon, Andre Carson will be next Congressman from the 7th Congressional District. With about 80-percent of the votes counted, Carson leads Elrod 53-44 percent.

Although Elrod led early in the evening, over the course of the evening vote count changed and Carson’s lead was cemented when eight Center Township precincts came in at about 9:30 p.m.

There are still some votes left to be counted so the race could tighten with 100 precincts left to be counted as this blog goes to print. Only about 15-percent of the registered voters showed up to the polls.

I’ll have more in the morning.
