Election Day 2009: Results in

Election Day 2009 is over. The polls are closed. The results are in.

No single candidate for the Coconut Grove Village Council received an overwhelming majority of the 10,555 votes cast in the race, according to the Miami-Dade Elections Department.

But, the nine candidates that had the highest percentage of votes are as follows: Patrick Sessions with about 9.2 percent; David B. Collins with about 8 percent; Kate Callahan with about 7.4 percent; Michelle Niemeyer with about 7.3 percent; David Eric Wells with about 7 percent; Renita Ross Samuels-Dixon with about 6.8 percent; Heather Bettner with about 6.5 percent; Stephen P. Murray with about 6.3 percent; and Felice Dubin with about 6 percent.

Voter turnout countywide was low, as is the case in most off-year elections.  About 22 percent of Miami-Dade County’s 312, 392 registered voters showed up to the polls Tuesday, the Elections Department said.

The canvassing board must still certify the results.
