Unofficial Primary Election night results are in and the election day ran smoothly.   Compilation of results from all 13 polling locations took a bit longer than anticipated Tuesday evening due to a small data delivery issue.  In order to ensure the integrity and security of the results data, election staff was escorted by law enforcement staff to retrieve data that remained secured within a polling location after the poll closed.
