While campaigning hard in their race to become the Ogeechee Judicial Circuit’s newest Superior Court judge, and both sounding optimistic, Martha Hall and Michael Muldrew contend with dreary projections for turnout in the July 26 runoff. In three counties of the circuit – Effingham, Jenkins and Screven – the Superior Court judgeship will be the only thing on the ballot. The fourth and largest county, Bulloch, also has a race for probate judge, and Board of Commissioners District 2, roughly half of the county, has a runoff for a commission seat, at least giving voters more than one reason to go to the polls.
