By early Wednesday morning everything changed. Results from Dougherty and Muscogee counties, the two largest in the district, were late coming in. By the time all of the votes were counted in Albany and Columbus Bishop won with more than 51-percent of the vote.
Bishop’s campaign manager Travis Worl says Bishop was confident despite predictions of his defeat and never considered conceding.
“We were watching the numbers and we had direct communications with the election boards. So, we saw the numbers that were still out there and we knew what was still yet to come in.”
This is Bishop’s closest election since taking office in 1993.
