By THOMAS P. CALDWELL, LACONIA DAILY SUNA small number of absentee ballot requests, coupled with traditionally low turnouts for special elections, indicate that the upcoming primary election to fill a vacancy for Grafton County Dist. Democrats will choose between Tom Ploszaj of Grafton, who is on the ballot, and Joshua Adjutant of Bristol, who is not. Ashland selectmen reconsidered their decision and voted to ask Concord to approve a special election. He made no secret of his opposition to holding a special election, viewing it as a waste of taxpayers’ money, but now that there will be an election, he is giving it his all. Like Crosby, Adjutant was a student representative to the Newfound Area School Board while Migliore was serving on that board (Migliore was chairman at the time).
