BERLIN — Berlin Mayor Paul Grenier won another two-year term as mayor with 905 votes, according to the unofficial vote tally released Tuesday night, defeating the write-in campaign on behalf of deceased candidate Robert Haynes who received 771 write-in votes.
Haynes, who had filed to run for the position, died Oct. 20 from COVID-19 and his name was removed from the ballot prior to elections on Tuesday.
