Good day, people of Franklin! It's me again, Sammi Caramela, your host of the Franklin Daily. First, today's weather: Cloudy, showers around; cool. High: 57 Low: 52. Here are the top stories today in Franklin: After a hand count of Tuesday's votes for the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen race, the Election Commission has upheld its initial results. The hand count was sparked after software issues were discovered in some of the voting machines, which resulted in an incomplete tally of votes cast. Approximately 40 people counted the votes by hand in pairs to double-check accuracy. (Tennessean) While Franklin, Tennessee is known for being a popular destination for the living, it's also allegedly a hotspot for ghosts. Stories of hauntings abound in downtown Franklin, and local author Allen Sircy has compiled these tales in his book Southern Ghost Stories Franklin, Tennessee. According to Sircy, downtown Franklin has certainly seen its fair share of death. (WKRN) Joseph Christopher Cuthbert, 18, of Franklin was jailed for allegedly causing over $500 in damages to the first floor of Dana Hall at Berry University.
