Who Won The Republican Primary In State Senate District 28?

By Kleinheider Posted on August 31, 2008 at 5:18 pm

No Republicans filed to run against Tennessee Senate Democratic leader Jim Kyle in District 28 this year. The Shelby County Election Commission recorded 80 write-in votes in the August primary election, but the Tennessee Dept. of State Elections Division seems to assume there was no winner. How many write-in votes does a candidate need in order to win? Or are they even really counted at all? Why isn’t the list of write-in candidates available online?

Further discussion in the comment thread.
