Mr. Linnell, the guy with the lobster trap signs, will not be on the ballot for County Commissioner. Mr. Linnell was attempting to gain ballot status through a write-in candidacy, representing the Green-Independent party.

After the election, Mr. Linnell failed to qualify and asked for a recount. According to a press release from the Secretary of State, "Mr. Linnell needed to receive 100 votes in the June 10 Primary in order to be nominated and to get his name on ballots in November for the position of County Commissioner. The unofficial Election Night tally indicated he received 39 votes," said Dunlap.

The recount was halted before completion. Which I think means things didn't look so good for Mr. Linnell.  According to Secrteary Dunlap, "the recount today only involved ballots from the Town of Yarmouth and resulted in no change to the number of votes.  Based on that, Mr. Linnell suspended the recount, and agreed to accept the Election Day results as reported by the municipalities."

Not to worry, Mr. Linnell will be back.
