Laura Ricci
With two town board seats available and three candidates vying for them, here are the unofficial results of the Democratic Primary in Woodstock:
Laura H. Ricci 202
Jay Wenk 180
Ken Panza 173
There are 19 absentee ballots yet to be counted. A total of 39 were given out by the Ulster County board of elections. Any that are postmarked as of September 9 and received by the County board of elections by September 17 will also be counted.
If the 19 are all that are received, Panza would have to beat Wenk by 14 votes among them to overtake his lead. But remember, each ballot can have two votes on it, so just getting 14 of those votes might not do it, because Wenk might get a few also.
