Anti-wind power forces came out on top in Cape Vincent after absentee ballots were counted, while the supervisor in Lyme hung on to win re-election in uncertified results.

Shortly after the Nov. 2 election, Cape Vincent Democratic Party Chairman Harold L. Wiley had all but conceded the party’s endorsed candidates for Town Council and supervisor — Marty T. Mason, Donald J. Mason and Harvey J. White, even with more than 500 eligible absentee ballots. But he still held out hope that 28-year incumbent town justice Kirk E. Grant, running on the Conservative line, would win re-election; Mr. Grant’s position on the bench had nothing to do with the wind power debate, Mr. Wiley reasoned. Mr. Grant was leading Republican Colleen M. Knuth, 565-369, before the absentee ballots were counted.
