It was the night of races that were too close to call. Races for city of Auburn mayor, along with contests for town supervisor in Owasco, Fleming and Summerhill, all came down to a few votes separating the candidates. As a result, absentee ballots will likely determine winners.
In other races, perhaps the most contentious campaign battle turned out to be a rather lopside victory. Jon Budelmann easily defeated Michael Bass in the race for district attorney.
Here is a brief summary of some key races in the county:
