Tim Taylor wins Canton mayoral election

CANTON, Miss. (WJTV) – Tim Taylor (D) is the apparent winner of the Canton mayoral race.

The unofficial results showed Taylor defeated Chip Matthews (R) and Walter Peeples (I).

Comelia Walker, who lost to Taylor in the Democratic primary runoff election on April 22, is taking her election challenge to the Mississippi Supreme Court. She lost by less than 50 votes and asked for a recount.

Taylor was certified as the winner and was on the ballot on Tuesday. Walker filed a petition claiming recently annexed areas of the city were not able to vote.

Over the weekend, a judge dismissed her petition saying there was no evidence any voter was disenfranchised. Walker appealed the judge’s decision on Monday.
