Vera Jones can continue her re-election bid, after the Effingham County Board of Elections voted 3-1 Friday morning to dismiss a challenge to her candidacy. Jones, the 2nd District county commissioner, had about 60 supporters in attendance, who cheered and clapped as the decision was announced. A challenge had been filed last month by Andrew and Jocelyn Brantley, who charged that Jones was holding more than $700,000 in county funds.
