Crossville incumbents win easily; package liquor sales OK'd

A record number of voters in Cumberland County — 26,213 or 68.15 percent of all registered voters — turned out Tuesday to approve a liquor referendum, return two incumbent city councilmembers to the Crossville City Council and to elect a new mayor in the Town of Crab Orchard.

Meanwhile, as the final numbers in Cumberland County were being totaled, Republican Presidential candidate John McCain conceded the election to Democrat Barrack Obama in what was surely a historical day for the nation.

Cumberland County voters, however, favored McCain over the president-elect.



DEAN, WYATT RETURNED TO CROSSVILLE COUNCIL

Incumbent Crossville City Councilmembers Earl Dean and Boyd Wyatt Sr. were rewarded for their service to the city by being re-elected to the council, defeating challenger Brian "BK" Hearndon easily. Vote totals were as follows:

*Wyatt, 2,048

*Dean, 1,978

Hearndon, 1,257.



CRAB ORCHARD HAS NEW MAYOR

Emmett H. Sherrill defeated incumbent Mayor Willard Sherrill and overcame two other challengers to win election as mayor of that town. Election results are as follows:

*E. Sherrill, 112

W. Sherrill, 88

Patrick L. Barnes, 69

James H. Davis, 46



DWENGER IS ONLY PH CANDIDATE

Al Dwenger was the only candidate on the ballot and won election to the Pleasant Hill Town Council, receiving 275 complimentary votes. There were 193 write-in votes but who those votes were cast for was not known at deadline.



LIQUOR PACKAGE SALES SOARS

Voters in Cumberland County approved package liquor sales with over 64 percent of the voters casting yes ballots. Final results were: YES, 16,046; NO, 9,002.



McCAIN TOPS PRESIDENTIAL VOTES

John McCain easily carried Cumberland County despite not being able to win the presidency. The local results are as follows:

John McCain, 17,436

Barrack Obama, 7,889

Chuck Baldwin, 97

Bob Barr, 96

Charles Jay, 6

Cynthia McKinney, 26

Brian Moore, 11

Ralph Nader, 151



ALEXANDER EASY WINNER FOR SENATE

Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander easily defeated challenger Bob Tuke, and in Cumberland County Alexander gained 72 percent of the votes cast. Results are as follows:

*Alexander, 17,094

Tuke, 5,730

Edward L. Buck, 387

Christopher G. Fenner, 130

Ed Lawhorn, 116

Daniel Towers Lewis, 101

David Gatchell, 93

Chris Lugo, 71



DAVIS RETURNS AS U.S. CONGESSMAN

Incumbent Democrat Lincoln Davis easily won re-election to the Fourth Congressional District seat but received a stiff challenge from Monty Lankford in Cumberland County. Results were:

*Davis, 12,028

Lankford, 10,364

Janes Anthony Gray, 494

Kevin Ragsdale, 405



Incumbent Republican State Rep. Eric Swafford, running unopposed, received 17,680 complimentary votes in Cumberland County.
