The Village of Empire had the closest race out of all county elections Tuesday as former President Dan Davis edged incumbent Sue Palmer 154 to 150.

The winning margin of .97% had a close four vote finish with two write-in votes casted.

“That’s a pretty darn tight race and I thought it would be tight. I didn’t know how it was going to come out. Congratulations to Sue as well for a great race,” Davis said.
