ELECTION: Mitt Romney Wins Medfield by Landslide in Primary

The unofficial results are in for Medfield and Mitt Romney is the big winner.

The former Massachusetts Governor claimed 1,128 out of the town's 1,676 votes in the GOP Presidential Primary Tuesday enroute to a landslide victory over his fellow Republican candidates vying for the GOP presidential nomination.

Ron Paul finished second behind Romney (108) and Rick Santorum finished third (106) in Medfield. President Barack Obama collected 224 of the town's votes.

Roughly 17 percent of the town's registered voters made it out to the polls Tuesday and while Town Clerk Carol Mayer was surprised the turnout wasn't larger, she was pleased with the voters who took time to exercise their right.

"I thought [turnout] would be bigger with the race between Romney and Santorum," Mayer said. "But I'm happy with the turnout."

Mayer said as of 4 p.m., 1,065 residents had made it out to vote in what was considered a steady day at the polls.

"There was a consistent flow of people throughout the day," Mayer said.

CNN reported Tuesday night that Romney won Massachusetts, according to exit polls.

Montrose School Seniors Lend a Helping Hand on Super Tuesday

Eight seniors from on North Street in Medfield helped out at the polls Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and was a welcomed addition to Mayer and her Election Day staff.

"They helped the staff and did a book," Mayer said. "They did everything that everybody else [working at the polls did]. My staff thought they were wonderful."

Mayer said she enjoyed the girls' company and enthusiasm during the six-hour shift.

"They were pleasant, smiling the whole time," Mayer said. "I hope they enjoyed it because we enjoyed having them."

Mayer said she contacted the Montrose School to organize the students' participation and said because Tuesday went so well, she hopes to work with Montrose School again in September and November.

"I'd like to thank all the girls that came from Montrose School," Mayer said. "We really enjoyed it."

Emmy Mitchell, Tuesday's election warden echoed Mayer's enjoyment.

"The girls were great," Mitchell said. "They're young ladies you can be very proud of."
