We hope you got to the polls yesterday, but judging from low turnout at polling stations around the area, many of you didn’t, which is a shame seeing as how there were some important races being held.

The race that received the most attention was that of Erie County Executive. It’s a very, very close race that has not been officially called, though Barry Grossman (D) is claiming victory in the race. Once absentee ballots are counted, a winner will be declared, perhaps as early as today. We’ll tweet it as soon as its official.

Erie Mayor Joe Sinnott easily won another term, winning 80% of the vote.

Judge Stephanie Domitrovich won her retention vote, despite members of the Erie County Bar Association not recommending she be retained. Judges Elizabeth Kelly and Michael Dunlavey also were retained. Dan Brabender, running unopposed, will be the new Court of Common Pleas judge.

We blogged about Ebert Beeman last week. Beeman ran on the Republican side despite being disavowed by the local GOP. Despite owing $2 million in taxes, Beeman is your new 6th District Representative to Erie County Council.

Richard Figaski (D) won the Millcreek Township Supervisor race.

John Christopher Soff is the new mayor of Meadville. He ran unopposed.
