Election officials could not be reached to confirm that all the votes are in and have been compiled. As soon as the official scores are in, we’ll let you know.

Unofficially, it looks as though more than a few upsets came in last night.
In the race for district Judge, Dom Cercone beat out Chris Hauser for the seat.
Cercone, a member of the Bradford City Police force plans to retire to serve out his term as judge. Cercone says Hauser called him overnight to congratulate him, and offered any help he could to ease the transition.


Cercone says he will begin training a new juvenile officer at the station.

According to unofficial tallies, Reverend Arthur Cox, Rita Dincher, Joe Troutman, Pat Vigliotta and August Freda were the top vote getters in the race.
