Atlanta Mayor Race Too Close To Call
- 7 years ago
ATLANTA — The race for mayor in Atlanta early Wednesday was too close to call, with one candidate declaring herself the city's new leader and the other vowing to request a recount. The margin was razor-thin, with just a few hundred votes separating Keisha Lance Bottoms and Mary Norwood. Bottoms spoke early Wednesday at an Atlanta hotel, saying near the end of her speech that "I am just in awe of what God is able to do." "I'm so honored to be your 60th mayor," she told her cheering supporters.
