The Primary Election occurred back on May 17th and one of the races at stake was the Democratic spot for the Comssioners position in Ward 3. Incumbent Dan Kinross was being challenged by newcomer John Sponcer for the Democratic spot on the ballot in the November elections. There weren't any Republicans running for this spot, so it looked as if the winner of the Democratic spot would run unopposed in the November elections.
Commissioner Kinross won the Primary back in May, beating out John Sponcer for the Democratic spot on the ballot. I guess in many people's eyes...that was that.
Or was it......
I spoke with the Allegheny County Elections Divison this morning to find out there was a write in winner for the Republican spot on the ballot for the Ward 3 Commissioners spot. The results have been verified and I was told that Dan Kinross received 35 write in votes on the Republican side and that John Sponcer received 49 write in votes on the Republican side.
The gentleman that I spoke with told me that the necessary paperwork has been sent out and that as long as Mr. Sponcer completes the paperwork and returns it by July 1st, he will appear on the ballot in November for the Republican spot in the 3rd Ward Commissioner Race.
So I guess the ball is now in John Sponcer's court.........
Re-Elect Dan Kinross!!!
