An Effingham County Superior Court judge has ruled that the board of elections’ decision to dismiss a challenge to Commissioner Vera Jones’ candidacy will stand. Judge Gates Peed made his three-page ruling Wednesday, and it was filed with the clerk of courts office Thursday. An hour-long hearing was held May 15 on the elections board’s April 4 decision to grant a motion to dismiss Andrew Brantley’s challenge to Jones’ candidacy.
