Provisional ballots could decide Hamilton County sheriff race
Richard Garza, current Hamilton County sheriff candidate, trails Joe Stephens by five write-ins after Tuesday's general election. With 17 provisional ballots to be reviewed Monday, Garza hopes the count will favor his 529 write-in votes as Stephens has 534. Garza, a Syracuse resident and longtime sheriff's office employee, stresses outreach efforts and questions about provisional ballot rules. Stephens plans to take office January 13 and remove yard signs as the election concludes.
