Bristol Election Counts Fall Behind As Ballots Swell
The Phoenix notes Bristol’s voting woes after a presidential election as ballots for 37 candidates and 1,500 votes overwhelmed counting capacity. Officials say tearing and tallying each name across all ballots delays results past midnight, urging the town to modernize counting methods. The piece contrasts past years with smaller voter rolls and highlights Bristol and Westerly as slow to publish morning results.

Bristol District Voting Plan Proposed for Faster Results
The Phoenix suggests dividing Bristol into three voting districts to speed tallying. About 700 residents between Franklin and State streets would vote at town hall, 500 north of Franklin at Franklin street school, and 500 south of State at the Dreadnaught engine house. Extra officers would be needed, but returns would be known by midnight. The paper invites discussion before next March town meeting.
