Margaret Long lost in the primary to Angie Swiger, but some votes were not cast in that race.
Baldwin County Probate Judge Adrian Johns tells News 5 that 87 voters at the Foley Civic Center and 55 in Magnolia Springs were eligible to vote in the District 5 School Board race. Judge Johns says they were not given the correct ballot.
Margaret Long lost the election by 65 votes. Her challenge will go before the county elections committee.
