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. In Madison County, early voting totals had Green leading Blackburn by 1,760 votes right off the bat, and for most of the night, Green consistently kept a slight lead over Blackburn. It was a trend that mirrored one seen in many of Tennessee's larger urban centers. Now that the votes are all counted, local county election commissions must finish their official tabulation and certify their local results no later than Nov. 23, according to state law.
