Monroe County Board of Elections

The Monroe County Board of Elections released the vote count of absentee and affidavit ballots on Tuesday night. Added to the machine totals from election night on Nov. 3, some races did see leads evaporate.

Jen Lunsford, the Democratic challenger for the 135th Assembly District seat, narrowly defeated the Republican incumbent, Mark Johns, by 684 votes, according to the unofficial results released Tuesday.

Voter turnout in Monroe County was just shy of 74% as of 8 p.m., according to the county Board of Elections, a figure that would put the county on pace to eclipse the highest general election turnout in many years but fall short of the record.
