Four out of five Little Compton Town Council incumbents could be back for another term, after all but Andrew Iriarte-Moore earned enough votes to get back on the council Tuesday. But with mail-in ballots yet to be counted and two of the winning candidates tied just ahead of the sixth place finisher in the five-seat race, there is still a lot that could happen.
If mail-in ballots expected to be tallied Wednesday do not change candidates' positions, Republicans would retain their 3-2 majority over council Democrats.
In early and in person voting, Republican Robert L. Mushen, the president, Republican Gary Mataronas and Democrat Patrick McHugh were the top three vote getters. Republican Paul J. Golembeske and Democrat Victoria G. Talbot tied at 1,080 votes, 55 ahead of Iriarte-Moore, who finished just out of the money.
Again, results from mail ballots could change these expected results.
In
Robert L. Mushen: 1,229 votes (12.8 percent)
Gary Mataronas: 1,158 votes (12.1 percent)
Patrick McHugh: 1,117 fotes (11.6 percent)
Victoria G. Talbot: 1,080 votes (11.2 percent)
Paul Goelmbeske: 1,080 votes (11.2 percent)
Out
Andrew Wilder Iriarte Moore: 1,025 votes (10.7 percent)
Maureen Rego: 1,018 votes (10.6 percent)
Scott Lewis: 966 votes (10.1 percent)
Martina A. Halsey: 908 votes (9.5 percent)
Write-ins: 22 (.2 percent)
