OAKLAND, Md. — A candidate who died while seeking re-election to the Garrett County Commissioners lost the race.
County election officials said they’ll count write-in votes Thursday to determine whether any of three Republicans got enough support to beat the 2,603 votes cast for Democrat Bill Welch.
The late Republican incumbent Dennis Glotfelty received 1,755 votes even though he died of lung cancer 12 days before the election.
