In Madison County, 27,905 voters cast their ballots in the Nov. 3 midterm election. In one of the biggest takeaways of the night, locals favored Democratic nominee Jerri Green for governor over Republican opponent and U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn. Green earned 12,560 votes as compared to Blackburn's 11,652, though Blackburn ultimately won the seat by the end of Election Night. Statewide, Blackburn raked in 957,136 votes as compared to Green, who brought in 902,953 votes. The top independent candidate, David Hatley, earned 195,564 votes, according to unofficial totals from the Tennessee Secretary of State.
