Mount Vernon City Judge candidate Nichelle Johnson, who lost the Democratic primary race by 146 votes, has not conceded the race. Johnson, who lost to incumbent Helen Blackwood, said Wednesday she was waiting for the results of a recanvass by the county Board of Elections, which is done for all the races before results are certified as official. The Board of Elections count shows Blackwood with 42 percent of the vote, Johnson with 39 percent, and Tamika Coverdale with 20 percent. Johnson will appear on the Conservative and Independence lines in the general election.

   I knew she was a sore loser.
   She came canvassing at my door mentioning who she knew and mentioned she was hispanic.

   To mention her race and say I knew she was a sore loser is ridiculous. Let’s be honest here. Blackwood only won because Coverdale SPLIT the vote. Johnson, Bravo, great CLEAN race. The Dem’s should be shaking in their boots right about now. I know both Blackwood and Johnson personally… you , my friend know NOTHING!!!
