Final unofficial results in for general election

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — Final unofficial results were in Tuesday night for the general election. Indian River County had more than 113,400 registered voters – nearly half of which were registered Republicans.

The other half was almost evenly split between registered Democrats and those of No Party Affiliation.

Shortly before polls closed, the Indian River County Supervisor of Elections Office reported that 72,891 ballots had been cast in the General Election – marking a more than 64 percent voter turnout.

Ballots were cast almost evenly among the three ways – by mail, early, and day-of.

The Vero Beach City Council election for three seats may or may not count, as certification of results is currently held up by a temporary injunction. Disqualified candidate Linda Hillman sued the city and the Vero election sits in limbo while that suit runs its course.

When asked to characterize election day, Indian River County Supervisor of Elections Leslie Swan summed it up as “busy.” Swan said all the polling places opened on time and no locations ran out of ballots.

“Turnout was very good and very busy,” Swan said. “We take the equipment out the Thursday before, and set up on Monday to test everything out.”

Other than having to deliver more voting booths to a couple of the larger precincts, everything went smoothly, she said.

Huge backups on first day of bridge closure

The first two days of the week-long total closure of the 17th Street Bridge went about as expected – with long lines on the alternate route between the island and the mainland of Vero Beach, the Merrill P. Barber Bridge and its approaches. Motorists traveling between the island and the mainland found out that it took them about twice as long as normal to reach their destinations as all traffic that normally takes the 17th Street Bridge, about 20,000 vehicles per day and perhaps more in season – was detoured and rerouted to the Barber bridge. The Vero Beach Police Department warned motorists about delays and said it had officers out on Indian River Boulevard Tuesday to help direct the ...
