The Hilda Legg race: votes by Columbia area counties impressive

With higher turnout, registered Republicans in Adair County could have delivered the Statewide margin to deliver the race to Knifley native

By Ed Waggener

Adair County's Hilda Legg received a tremendous vote in her race for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State from Adair and surrounding counties, with a high of 89.59% of the vote in her native county, and an impressive 74.21% in her current home, Pulaski County.

  • 1) Adair Co vote for Hilda Legg, 89.59%
  • 2) Russell Co. vote for Hilda Legg, 73.78%
  • 2) Taylor Co. vote for Hilda Legg, 73.78%
  • 4) Green Co. vote for Hilda Legg, 69.92%
  • 5) Casey Co. vote for Hilda Legg: 63.78%
  • 6) Cumberland Co. vote for Hilda Legg, 63.54%
  • 7) Metcalfe Co. vote for Hilda Legg, 57.94%
Hilda Legg received a tremendous margin of victory in Pulaski County, where she currently resides, with a vote of 3,709 to 1,289, and 74.21% of the vote.

While the vote was impressive by statewide comparison, the very sad commentary is that if there had been just a 50% or more voter turnout in the Republican primary, and the percentages held the same, Adair County would likely have delivered enough votes, alone, to have decided the race statewide in favor of Legg.
