The write-in votes have been tallied and all the questionable marks and overvotes have been cleared up.

The results of the primary election in Warren County are final.

The Friday adjudication process – in which write-ins are checked and any other problems and situations are address – didn’t change much.

The results that were available immediately remain accurate.

There will be a few changes on ballots all over the county in the fall due to write-in campaigns and one change that will be on all of the county ballots in November.

Sheriff Brian Zeybel was the only sheriff candidate on the ballot. He filed as a Republican. He will move forward to the fall as both the Republican and the Democratic nominee after securing 152 write-in votes from Democrats in the primary.

A candidate must receive at least as many write-ins as they would have needed signatures on their nominating petitions to make their way onto the ballot, according to Warren County Director of Elections Lisa Rivett.

That is 100 for a county-wide position, City of Warren council, and Magisterial District Judge; 10 for school board, township supervisor, borough council, constable, and judge of elections; and five for inspector of elections.

Of course, they must also be the candidate who receives the most votes (in situations where there is one seat open) or finish no lower than the number of seats available.

Zeybel needed 100 write-in votes from Democrats to be on the ballot as a Democrat.

Other county-wide candidates who were unopposed – District Attorney Rob Greene (93), Prothonotary Jennifer Phillips (51), and Coroner Melissa Zydonik (68) – did not receive enough write-ins to be the nominee from both parties in the fall. They will be listed only as Republicans. No Democratic candidate will be on the ballot for those positions.

Jennifer Lauffenburger successfully collected enough votes from both Democrats and Republicans to exceed the number of signatures needed on a petition. She received 136 Republican write-in votes and 12 Democratic write-in votes. However, only one seat was open and Lauffenburger was facing a ballot candidate – Chloe Shaffer – who was cross-filed and received over 1,000 Republican votes and over 400 Democratic votes.

In Elk Township, James Peterson will appear on both sides of the ballot for constable after he secured 35 write-in votes from Republicans and 14 from Democrats.

Farmington Township Supervisor write-in candidate Ron LaBarte will appear on the Republican side of the fall ballot having received 39 write-ins, but only captured four Democratic votes and will not be the Democratic nominee.

The same is true for Pine Grove Township Constable write-in candidate David Morrison who received 32 Republican write-ins and three Democratic write-ins.

Eileen Heenan, with seven write-in votes from Democrats, will appear on the fall ballot for the position of Deerfield Township Election Inspector.
