Bennett wins sheriff despite write in votes

Sheriff Ramsey Bennett ran unopposed in the general election last Tuesday, but for the first time in recent memory there was a sizable write-in vote.

Bennett received 8,325 votes in the general election and will begin serving a fourth term in office beginning in January.

But, there were 640 write in votes against the sheriff – or roughly seven percent of the total votes cast.
