Offices for the City of St. Augustine will be closed on Monday, November 12 in observance of the Veterans Day holiday, but the solid waste pick-up schedule will remain unchanged.

When Supervisor of Elections Vicky Oakes convenes the three-member Canvassing Board tomorrow morning, provisional ballots from 338 St Johns County voters will be tabulated; enabling Oakes to be meet the deadline to certify the “unofficial election results” before noon on Saturday.

With 72.5% of the votes cast, St Johns County has a new Representative in the Florida House; Republican Ronald “Doc” Renuart won election last night with 63,599 votes; sending the Ponte Vedra Beach physician to Tallahassee for his second term — but first term in the newly crafted District 17.

At an election event sponsored by Florida Senator John Thrasher last night, Commissioner-elect Bill McClure told Historic City News editor Michael Gold that he has been “eager to get to work” since being declared the winner of ex-commissioner Mark Miner’s seat on the St Johns County Commission for District 3.

Historic City News was informed that Roxanne Horvath was elected to the St Augustine City Commission Tuesday; replacing 10-year incumbent Errol Jones, who lost his bid for reelection in the August primary.

Today is the day that Americans peacefully overthrow the government as they make their way to their established polling precinct and enter the holy of holies, the sanctum sanctorum, where everyone in the country is on the level — the voting booth.

Historic City News has been updated with the results of our local elections as we close in on the big day that will decide who will occupy the White House for the next four years.
