The Bryan County Election Board released the following from the Presidential Preferential election in Bryan County March 5.
A presidential preference primary is a primary election in which a voter indicates a preference for a particular candidate to be a party’s nominee for the presidency.
Republican
Donald J. Trump: 2,814, 87.69 percent Asa Hutchinson: 1, 0.03 percent Vivek Ramaswamy: 7, 0.22 percent Ron DeSantis: 35, 1.09 percent Ryan L. Binkley: 3, 0.09 percent David Stuckenberg: 10, 0.31 percent Nikki Haley: 333, 10.38 percent Chris Christie: 6, 0.19 percent

Libertarian
Chase Oliver: 2, 100 percent Jacob Hornberger: 0, 0.00 percent The primary election will be June 18 with a runoff Aug. 27. The general election will be Nov. 5.
There will be a runoff election April 2 between Matt Tarr and Bryce Segotta who are seeking a seat on the Bennington Board of Education.
During the Feb. 13 election, Tarr received 49 votes, 39.20 percent, while Segotta received 30.40 percent, 38 votes.
Also on the April 2 ballot, Rock Creek Schools is seeking $785,000 in bonds to fund security improvements and to remodel school buildings plus obtain fixtures and furniture. These would have an interest rate not to exceed 10 percent per annum and become due within 10 years.
This is the same proposition that just barely failed in the Sept. 12 election. Although 59.50 percent of the votes were in favor of it, school bonds require a 60 percent “super majority.”
