Malden vote makes the difference in Democratic State Committee races
Published on March 8th, 2000
Stoneham - MA, After lopsided numbers came in from Malden in the Democratic State Committee Man and Woman races last Tuesday, Joseph Lawless III and Christine DiPietro emerged victorious.
Projecting the winners over night, The Independent reported in the March 8 edition that Herlihy and Manley had won - Manley won in every community except Malden, and Herlihy won in Stoneham, Reading and Wakefield - but after all votes were counted, the strong Malden vote put Lawless and DiPietro over the top.
Lawless received 3,862 votes in Malden to only 396 for Herlihy, and DiPietro received 3,817 votes there to only 540 for Manley.
On the Republican side, the projected State Committee Man and Woman winners Paul Melkonian and Monica Medeiros did win the election.
