Jim Planck is reporting in the Greene County News incumbent New Baltimore Highway Superintendent Denis Jordan will keep his job. Jordan, a Democrat, defeated his Republican challenger Alan VanWormer by one vote. The outcome was determined last week after the Greene County Board of Elections resumed its canvas of ballots cast on Election Day, Nov. 3. Like the other county boards of election in the Third Judicial District of the State Supreme Court, counting in Greene County was stalled when when Supreme Court candidate Norman Massry filed a post-election objection. The counting resumed after that lawsuit was withdrawn Wed., Nov. 18. Also announced last week, Republican incumbent Frank Hermance prevailed over his Democratic challenger Michael Jaeger in the Lexington highway superintendent race. The Board of Elections expects to have final numbers on all Greene County races following the Thanksgiving holiday. Read the full story in The Greene County News.
