The Gadsden District 5 race is a close one.
The county’s Web site reports that incumbent Charles Gonnell has 71 votes, or 39 percent. He’s losing by six votes to challenger Craig Ford, who has 88 votes, or 43 percent. The other challenger, Robert Zinsmaster, has 32 votes, or 18 percent.
I can’t get an answer about whether the numbers, which are posted on the county’s Web site, include absentee and early votes, so I don’t know whether these numbers are final. They do include the one polling place that was in that district.
