A superior court judge has rejected Long County Probate Judge Bobby Harrison Smith’s suit to set aside the June election that he lost to challenger Teresa Odum. 

“None of the alleged irregularities is proven sufficiently to cast doubt on the results,” said Chatham County Superior Court Judge John Morse in denying Smith’s petition. “Overall, the evidence offered of voting irregularities … are not prolific enough or sufficiently proven to cast doubt on the election.”
