Midtown Community Center Voting

Note: This story was last updated at 9:37 p.m.

Voting results are being posted on the Anderson County Election Commission website.

The results below, which include early voting and absentee ballots, will be updated, and we’ll post the new numbers here as we can.

The following results include 26 of 28 precincts in Anderson County. We’ll add Roane County election results as we can. The early voting and absentee ballot results in Roane County don’t contradict the current Anderson County results in the Oak Ridge City Council or Board of Education elections, or the Oliver Springs liquor referendum.

 

Oak Ridge City Council (five seats):

Trina Baughn—5,842 (23 percent)

Kelly Callison—4,641 (18.3 percent)

L.C. “Charlie” Hensley—5,298 (20.9 percent)

Charles J. “Chuck” Hope Jr.—5,718 (22.5 percent)

Ellen Smith—3,909 (15.4 percent)

 

Oak Ridge Board of Education (two seats):

Leonard Abbatiello—4,287 (24.9 percent)

Angi Agle—6,603 (38.4 percent)

Keys Filauer—6,319 (36.7 percent)

 

Tennessee House of Representatives, 33rd District:

John Ragan, Oak Ridge Republican—12,810 (51.4 percent)

Jim Hackworth, Clinton Democrat—12,114 (48.6 percent)

 

Oliver Springs liquor referendum (To allow retail package stores to sell alcoholic beverages in the city of Oliver Springs):

Yes—360 (50.2 percent)

No—357 (49.8 percent)

 

Clinton charter question (To move Clinton general elections from December of odd-numbered years to November of even-numbered years):

For—2,556 (75.7 percent)

Against—819 (24.3 percent)

      You’re welcome. It doesn’t look like early voting and absentee ballots in Roane County change these early, unofficial results, at least as far as the city council and school board elections, and Oliver Springs liquor referendum are concerned.

      You’re welcome. Roane County had early voting and absentee ballots but not precinct results the last time I looked. The website is new.roaneelections.com.

    I am delighted that Trina won. She outworked all the others running for council by far and the voters recognized that. She will be a great council person and advocate for fiscal responsibility. Well done Trina.

    Trina’s victory may send a message to others on city council to be more fiscally responsible.

    John D. Ragan won w/ 12,810 votes I believe you have the above totals reversed John. If you can edit them it would be easy to fix.

      You are correct. I had the numbers reversed, and I have fixed them. Thank you for the catch, and I apologize for the error.

      Here are the most recent numbers I posted:

      – John Ragan, Oak Ridge Republican—12,825 (51.4 percent)
      – Jim Hackworth, Clinton Democrat—12,126 (48.6 percent)
