Inside the ballot box: More than 400 votes left uncounted

In Yorktown, where residents still do not know who their next town supervisor will be, three districts have not yet been counted, representing 14 percent of the vote in the elections Tuesday, Nov. 8.

The districts where the votes have not been counted are districts 27, 16 and 3, according to elected officials.

District 27 and its 225 votes cast represents about half of Jefferson Village, a senior citizen community; District 16, located in the Beaver Hill area of Yorktown, has a 2:1 ratio of registered Democrats to Republicans. District 16 has 171 uncounted votes. District 3, which also consists of mostly Democrats and is located in the Kitchawan area of Yorktown, has 40 uncounted votes, according to elected officials.

Town Supervisor candidates Michael Grace, who ran on the Republican line, and Don Peters, who ran on the Democrat and Working Families lines, are nearly tied, with Peters ahead by two votes as of Wednesday, Nov. 9.

Incumbent Town Supervisor Susan Siegel, who lost the Republican primary to Grace, ran on the Conservative line and a line of her own, and garnered 27 percent of the vote; Peters and Grace each have 36 percent, so far.

  1. When would the new supervisor take office? On 1/1/12? What happens to the zoning and planning board appointees? Who are you pulling for between Grace and Peters?
