Paul Correa and his supporters can rest easy now.
Paul Correa and his supporters can rest easy now. The usual conservatively cast absentee ballots were not conservative enough to overtake Correa’s third-place finish in Tuesday’s City Council election.
Fourth-place finisher Dion Bracco was only 74 votes behind Correa after 100 percent of precincts had reported election results Tuesday. After roughly 160 absentee ballots were counted by the county registrar’s office Friday, Correa remained in third place behind Roland Velasco and Russ Valiquette.
“Now I can really celebrate,” a relieved Correa said Friday. “I think the voters wanted a balanced Council in terms of political affiliation.”
