Douglas - - Douglas Mayor Tony Paulk says something isn't right about this month's election that he lost, so he's contesting the results with the Coffee County Board of Elections.

Jackie Wilson beat Paulk by 45-votes.

Paulk filed a petition with the Coffee County Superior Court claiming there were "irregularities involved in the election process".

He believes there was fraud by election workers and errors in vote counting.

He's asking for a re-count.
