As of press time Tuesday night, results were unofficial and will be updated today on the Times’ website (www.thetimes24-7.com and in Thursday’s Noblesville Times.
There are 260,130 registered voters in Hamilton County and as of press time there were 166,744 votes (a 64.10 percent voter turnout).
After an intense, expensive and historical race for the Fifth Congress District seat, Republican and State Sen. Victoria Spartz had a slight lead over Democratic challenger and State Rep. Christina Hale.
Keeping the pattern, it ended up being no surprise that County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt enjoyed a strong lead for County Commissioner for District 3 by almost 40,000 votes.
Republican Susan Byer looks to be the winner in a race that was thought to be close, but wasn’t. The same was true for county surveyor where incumbent Kent Ward won easily as well.
In another closely watched contest, the three county council at-large seats were undecided. However, Republicans Sue Maki (88K votes), Brad Beaver (78K votes) and Steve Nation (73K votes) easily outdistanced the competition.
