District 3 & 4 School Board seat for Mobile County headed for Runoffs

Battles and Perine forced leading candidates into runoffs on Tuesday.

In District 3 Fred Marshall and Reginald Crenshaw was forced into a runoff after Don Perine captured a little over 1,000 votes. Many didn't expect Perine to capture that many votes but he surprised many.

In District 4 Robert Battles lost big time to Belle and Manzie to minister, School board President Fleet Belle will face political newcomer Levon Manzie for the District 4 seat. Manzie was viewd as a big favorite to big on primary day without a runoff but however he fell short and voters prove the pundits wrong in this district.
