Barnstable Council Election Results: Ludtke, Cusack Win Seats
After an eventful primary and special election in Barnstable, the town has released unofficial results.

BARNSTABLE, MA — Unofficial election results from the town of Barnstable have come in at last. This, of course, comes after a primary election day which saw ballots locked in a town vault, delayed voting and, eventually, allowed residents to vote until midnight on Tuesday.
However, now that the results are in, there's a clearer picture of who will represent two precincts on the Town Council.
A special election was held alongside the primary election for state races, which saw John Crown and Paul Cusack run for the Precinct 5 seat, and Jignesh Amin, Betty Ludtke and Jacob Dewey run for the seat in Precinct 3.
