As of Monday afternoon, only one vote
separates Paul Scarborough and R. C. Cheek in the GOP Primary runoff
election for Sheriff of Hockley County. Scarborough has requested a recount which will be done Wednesday
afternoon.
On election night the tally was 1082
votes to 1080 in favor of Cheek. Since
then, a provisional ballot has come in for Scarborough.
An employee in the Hockley County
Clerk's Office said Monday that she and her coworkers had not been given
information about the recount. A call to the Hockley County Republican Chairwoman has not yet been returned.
Scarborough has been serving as the
interim Sheriff, taking over where Kevin Davis left off.
