SALISBURY – Wicomico County Councilwoman Nicole Acle overcame Democratic challenger Alex Scott in this week’s special election for District 2, according to preliminary results posted Wednesday.
Acle, a Republican, received 5,380 votes, while Scott received 4,240 votes. However, local election officials will continue to count ballots in the coming days.
Last year, the Wicomico County Council appointed Acle to fill the term held by former Councilman Marc Kilmer until the 2020 special election. Kilmer, who served as the District 2 representative for four-and-a-half years, resigned after announcing he and his family would return to his home state of Idaho.
Through mail-in ballots, Scott received 1,386 votes while Acle received 640. But during early voting and Election Day, Acle received a total of 4,740 votes while Scott received 2,854.
Damn.
Good…that Libby Scott was out begging for votes all week during early voting.
Wow, almost like he was campaigning to win an election. Weird.
At this point it doesn’t really matter. I heard they’ve gotten to Acle too about putting their boy Anderton in the executive position
They’ve been working on her and if she changes her stance on this and puts Carl Anderton in then we will Primary her and make sure she never wins another election again!
