A scant turnout produced a victory for incumbent James E. Jefferson Jr. in Tuesday’s runoff election for justice court judge in Warren County’s central district.

Unofficial returns from the polls and from ballots cast via absentee or affidavit showed Jefferson with 496 votes to former Vicksburg police officer Rudolph Walker’s 309. Jefferson won seven of the district’s 10 precincts. Including one write-in vote there were 806 votes cast for a 2.65 percent turnout of the county’s 30,401 registered voters, with three precincts showing fewer than 10 votes cast overall.
