FREEDOM â While the COVID-19 pandemic made town voting day a bit different for towns that kept to their traditional schedule, residents who went to the polls in Freedom, Eaton, Ossipee and Wolfeboro cast some interesting ballots.
In Freedom, incumbent selectman Alan Fall trailed the front-runner by five votes after tallies were announced on Tuesday night.
âWe did an instant recount immediately, while the counting crew was assembled,â said Town Clerk Libby Priebe. âMelissa Florio was declared the winner.
Three candidates vied for the three-year selectmanâs seat. Florio, a local business owner who vied unsuccessfully for a seat last year, took top honors with 223 votes, followed by Fall with 218, and Robert Rafferty, eight.
