Tuesday, Nov. 3, was election day, and a few municipalities in the Unionville area had some contested races. I'm sure you'll read much more about the results elsewhere in this week's paper, but here are the stats from five townships. For complete information, you can go to Chester County's election results page.
In my township, West Marlborough, turnout was 28% (167/592). We re-elected Jake Chalfin and Hugh Lofting Sr. to their seats on the Board of Supervisors.
In Newlin Township, turnout was 33% (324/973). Voters there returned William Kelsall to his chair at the supervisors' table.
In Pocopson Township, turnout was 25% (645/2,597) (this was a surprise to me, given all of the controversy that's been going on at township meetings over the Barnard House renovations). Elaine DiMonte and Alice Balsana were elected as supervisors.
In East Marlborough, turnout was 28% (1,553/5,469). Republican Christine Kimmel beat Democrat Richard Hicks in all three precincts, 939-593, to win the seat on the township Board of Supervisors that Cuyler Walker is leaving.
In Kennett Township, turnout varied from 30% in the second precinct (the polling place was Church of the Advent) to 56% at Kendal at Longwood, the Quaker retirement community, where half the residents voted straight-party Democrat. Democrat Whitney Hoffman beat Republican Ted Moxon, 1,054 to 908, for a seat on the township Board of Supervisors. By precinct, the results were Hoffman 235, Moxon 217 in the first precinct (the polling place was at the township building); Hoffman 242, Moxon 261 in the second precinct; Hoffman 316, Moxon 155 in the third precinct (at Kendal); and Hoffman 261, Moxon 275 in the fourth precinct (at Greenwood Elementary).
