ROBERTSDALE — Margaret Long wants a new primary election to determine the Republican Party's nominee for school board District 5, and Angie Swiger believes only the 142 voters who received the wrong ballot in Tuesday's election should get a second chance.

The two candidates, not to mention Baldwin County's residents, must wait a little longer to find out how their election dispute will be resolved.

On Friday, the Baldwin County Republican Party Election Committee postponed a decision, citing state law that no election can be contested until the results have been certified, said attorney Allan Chason, the legal counsel representing the committee.
