Susan Bucher was re-elected as Supervisor of Elections for Palm Beach County. The Palm Beach Post credits early and absentee voters. Mmm-hmm.

Over 1000 Hits!
The Lake Worth Sun has only been in operation 17 days now, but we just tallied our 1000th hit in the last hour or so. So thanks, everybody out there. Glad you're here.
Jeff Clemens Pulls Off a Narrow Win
Former Lake Worth mayor Jeff Clemens did not win his Florida Senate primary by much today, especially considering his thick yard sign coverage.
He got just 50.68 percent of the vote, compared to 49.32 percent that went to his opponent -- fellow Democrat Mack Bernard.
Meanwhile, Connie Mack, the son and grandson of greats and now the husband of Sonny Bono's widow -- Mary Bono Mack -- won his U.S. Senate primary with 58. 2 percent of the vote. Former Rep. Dave Weldon got 20.21 percent. (George LeMieux dropped out in June, though his name still appeared on absentee ballots.)
Mack is challenging Democratic Senator Bill Nelson. As it's not shaping up to be a good year for incumbents, especially Democratic ones, he should win this.
In the new U.S. House District 22, former West Palm Beach Mayor Lois Frankel won her primary easily with 61.62 percent of the vote. Her fellow Democrat opponent Kristin Jacobs got 38.38 percent.

Lake Worth Sun Publishes First Crime Blotter
The Lake Worth Sun has published its first crime blotter -- see the right-hand margin -- listing all crimes that the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office has reported occurred yesterday in Lake Worth.
This is overly vague, listing only the block instead of the specific address. But the Sun is working on it, with calls to the First Amendment Foundation, e-mails back and forth with lawyers and conversations with the PBSO. So, stay tuned. This will fill out as this site develops. (We have constitutional questions to answer and get answered!)
In the meantime, if anyone is interested in more detailed information about any of the incidents listed at right, he or she should take down the case number on the second line and take that over to PBSO District 14 in Lake Worth and ask to get a copy of the "offense report."
