Charleston, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- It was down to the very last precincts before Kanawha County School Board president Jim Crawford knew if he would have a second term. In the end Crawford and newcomer Robin Rector tied the race for the non-partisan spots on the Board. Each candidate received 12,321 votes. Incumbent Barbara Welch was close behind with 12,153. County Commissioner Kent Carper says in the end, this is a race that could change with provisional ballots.

The Kanawha County School Board Excess Levy got the go-ahead from voters. More than 24,000 people voted in favor of the levy. The five year excess levy will give the schools $44 million dollars a year.

Another neck and neck race was in the 31st District. Long time incumbent Carrie Webster just barely hung on to her lead over Mesha Poore. At one point the race was split down the middle. In the end, Webster pulled out the win with 1,686 votes to Poore's 1,568. Webster will return to her seat in the House of Delegates. No Republican opposes her in the Fall.

Other incumbents in Kanwaha County had a good night. In the race for the 30th District- all elected incumbents will face off with a Republican challenger in the fall. Dave Higgins, who was appointed to his seat when Jon Amores took another job within state government, didn't make the cut for a bid in the General Election.

In the fall, only two Republicans will be on the ballot for Kanawha County Magistrate. In all ten will be elected. Republicans Carol Fouty and Adam Knauff will run against former magistrate and Democrat Jack Pauley, Ward Harshbarger, Pete Lopez, Kim Aaron, Joe Shelton, Tim Halloran, Traci Carper-Strickland, Julie Yeager, Marva Crouch, and Paris Workman. Pauley was the top Democrat vote getter among magistrates in his bid to return to the bench. He ran unsuccessfully for sheriff four years ago.

Former 30th District Delegate Corey Palumbo is making a run for the State Senate. He will face Republican Challenger and Clendenin Mayor Bob Ore in November after an easy primary win Tuesday night. Vic Sprouse previously held the seat in the 8th District. He decided not to run again.

The race for Kanawha County Prosecuting Attorney is now underway. Democrat Bill Murray faces Republican Mark Plants in November.
