In the Precinct with the highest percentage of voters showing up at the polls, Munafo defeated challenger Eric Schwaab by a tally of 240-188 to reclaim his seat.
It was a tight race by all accounts. Mr. Schwaab helped drum up support among the citizens, but the lousy weather kept many from the polls and the turnout was lower than many anticipated. I am disappointed that after all the hoopla surrounding this heated contest that only 21% of the precinct showed up to vote. We need to do better than that Barnstable.
In a related development, the "Post Deleter" struck again. I'm not going to back off his case just because the election is over. When he backs off and stops spouting off ridiculuous things and then deleting them, I'll stop posting them...
Anyway, on Election Night, instead of a Thank You to his supporters... he went onto his last post (which was trashed with comments from both sides of the aisle) and posted this comment (before taking it down this morning):
Now, I thought Schwaab said he just wanted to "be friends" with everyone once the election is over... If that's the case, then why did he write this? Honestly, please let it go...
Anyway, kudos to the citizens of Barnstable who showed up to vote, voted down the COG slate and elected excellent School Committee Members, Town Councilors and Charter Commissioners.

Dedicated Voter- I am glad that I found you here. Congrats to Mr. Munafo. Now that the election is over and he won, perhaps we can all go forward on a positive note.
It was sad that there was such a low voter turnout. Good thing that it didn't snow because the numbers could have been even less.
Excellent points -- what's the over under regarding Lopez king o pj's actually shutting down?
What did Harold Tobey do that deserves attention? Don't the Hyannis COuncilors need to band together to get something good done for Hyannis?
Mr.MacDonald is anything but excellent. You apparently didn't see his illiterate performance during the debates. He was the worst. And now your happy our kids have the worst on the committee.
You really care about the kids.
I can only assume that the last commenter is a Dolby supporter. May I remind you the he garnered the FEWEST votes - by FAR.
Tom MacDonald is a HIGHLY qualified man for the job. The people of Barnstable knew this, and he had the MOST votes - by FAR.
The only change I would have made to the School Committee vote is to have Lawler in instead of Murphy or Dandridge.
Barnstable got great people for their kids.
If you wanted better, then perhaps you should have run yourself.
