Guam - Motivated by a cadre of young staffers, energetic volunteers and
enthusiastic managers (which helped to offset the effects of the low voter
turnout), the Guam Election Commission was able to count the ballots for
all 58 precincts in less than three hours for the special election to fill
the senatorial vacancy in the 30th Guam Legislature. The balloting
tabulation was smooth and without error, being done by hand rather than use
the automated tabulators, as has been the case in recent elections.

Republican Tony Ada led throughout the election by more than double the
votes of Sarah Thomas-Nededog, a Democrat.


FINAL ELECTION RESULTS (pending GEC verification)



* Ada, Tony (45%)

* Thomas-Nededog, Sarah (20%)

* Sarminento, William (10%)

* Benavente, Martin (9%)

* Aguon, Roque (9%)

* De Oro, Art (7%)


The results will be certified by the GEC's board of directors on Monday at
noon.
