Miss Vicky, election watchdog, happy after returns reported 2016-05-18 - Basement, Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com (c). Veteran S. Columbia #2 precinct worker Miss Vicky - Vicky Browning Pike - was smiling as returns from S. Columbia #2 were already part of the Adair County Tabulation, results passed out the media, and already sent to the Secretary of State for posting in the returns for Tue 17 May 2016. The precinct voted heavily for eventual winners county wide Rand Paul (87.65.14%); gave James R. Comer a Tim Lee Carter size majority (85.37%); and, with perhaps Adair County's most ethnically diverse precincts, gave Hillary Clinton her highest margin, 73.91%; Democratic nominee for U.S. Senator, Jim Gray, received a resounding 79.03%), and favored Tom Osborne in the Democratic primary for U.S. Representative.

Mayor & CJE United to get out the vote 2016-05-17 - Chamber Building, 201 Burkesville, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, CM photo (c). Both Mayor Curtis Hardwick, left, and Adair County Judge Executive Mike Stephens are united in reminding Adair Countians to get out and vote today. "Numbers count in D.C. The more people that vote the more Adair County is noticed. Please get out and vote!" and CJE Stephens says, "It's too wet to plow. Support our community. We can't plant but can sow for the future," It's a bipartisan effort. Mayor Hardwick is a Republican. Judge Stephens a Democrat," but there's only a slightly veiled reminder that both are encouraging Republican voters to vote for the man both have endorsed, when Judge Stephens adds, "Everyone in Adair County needs to do all they can to elect a Home Area candidate for Congress." The two are together, also, on commitments to see the a sewer project needed at Green River Commerce Park completed even though it will have to be a local project now. It may not come as a surprise that coming up with a local solution appears likely to cost all local taxpayer entities involved less money - though it will mean an added sizeable added burden on Columbia employer Rob Wilkerson. - Ed Waggener Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
