Salina bests Ward in Penn Township supervisor race, Miller wins primary nod for Winfield Township tax collector seat

The results of two races included in the May 21 edition of the Butler Eagle appear to reflect different outcomes than initially reported.

In “Unofficial results listed in local races,” which appeared on Page 3, the Republican candidate moving to the November election from the Penn Township supervisor race is newcomer Matthew Salina, according to updated unofficial election results from the Butler County Elections Bureau.

The initial report on Tuesday evening included total votes cast in one of the township’s precincts and only the mail-in ballots cast in the other precinct.

With total votes in both precincts, Salina appears to have bested the incumbent, receiving 425 votes. He will move to the November election, where no Democratic candidates will be on the ballot. Incumbent Samuel Ward received 366 votes.

In “Winners crowned in tax collector races,” which ran on Page 5, Maisie Miller is moving to the November election in the Winfield Township tax collector race. She received 350 votes compared to her opponent Marla Klabnik’s 202 votes, according to unofficial election results from the elections bureau. An earlier report transposed the numbers.

All results from the Tuesday election are based on unofficial results from the Butler County Election Bureau’s summary report. Results are not final at this time. Provisional ballots and write-in votes are yet to be included in the tallies.
