After a hard-fought race to fill a slot on the Fulton County Superior Court bench, the two top vote-getters � barely � were Kelly Amanda Lee and Shelitha Robertson. Unless the third-place vote-getter seeks a successful recount, they will meet in a run-off election to determine who will fill the seat of retiring Judge Melvin K. Westmoreland.
With 100 percent of the polls reporting, Lee came in first with 24.85 percent of the vote. Robertson was next with 22.05 percent, followed closely by Clarence R. Johnson Jr, with 21.55 percent. Since less than 1 percent separates Johnson and Robertson, he is entitled to ask for a recount.
