Helping voters on Tuesday were, seated from left: Election judges Danny Howell and Margaret Burch, and Supervisory judges Brenda Bartleson and Donna Reed. Richard Hofstetter was receiving his ballot. Deputy County Clerk Linda Roberts was supervising the ballot box and giving voters an “I Voted” sticker.
Licking Alderman Ward 1 incumbent Danny Wade retained his seat on the Board in the April 6 election. Mayor Keith Cantrell and Alderman Ward II Erin McConnell were uncontested.
The Licking R-VIII School Board results gave credence to the statement, “your vote counts.” While incumbent Rawly Gorman had a decisive win with 256 votes in the “Vote for 2” election, candidate Heidi Moloney missed a tie with incumbent Jeremy Rinne by one vote, with Rinne collecting 198 votes to Moloney’s 197 (including Phelps County votes).
The full list of unofficial Texas County election results follows, and respective organizations are expected to certify the results soon.
