Port Royal candidates tie - again
Port Royal election results
Date published: 5/6/2008

For the second time since 2004, candidates in today’s Port Royal election have tied for a seat on the Town Council.

Caroline County Registrar Danette Moen said write-in candidates Richard Cope and Oliver Fortune both received 18 votes to win the seventh seat. Only six candidates were on the ballot.

Moen said the tie will be broken at the Clerk of the Court’s Office tomorrow or Thursday when one name is “drawn out of a hat.”

In 2004, candidate Charlie LeHere won in a similar process over Jerry Jones after both finished with 35 votes.
