Early voting favors Bernard in state House 84 special election

by George Bennett | August 25th, 2009

: Thomas: 32 early votes

: Bernard: 43 early votes

Polls closed at 7 p.m. and results are beginning to trickle in from today’s special state House 84 election.

Delray Beach City Commissioner Mack Bernard topped Riviera Beach Councilman Cedrick Thomas, 43 votes to 32 votes, in early voting, which ran from Aug. 17 through Sunday.

There’s not a digit missing in those results. Only 75 people voted early, suggesting turnout for the entire race could fall below the 4.9 percent of eligible Palm Beach County voters who cast ballots in last month’s state Senate special election.

Results from absentee ballots and from today’s voting at the polls are still to come. Watch this space.
