DOVER - Sheriff David Dubois will keep his badge after a lopsided victory over former Strafford County Deputy Sheriff Anthony Macaione Jr. 30,402-19,817.

Meanwhile, County Commissioner incumbents George Maglaras, Robert Watson and Deanna Rollo all kept their spots, while former Rochester mayor Doug Lachance came in fourth barely missing out in his first attempt at the office.

In other county voting, Treasurer Pamela Arnold and County Attorney Tom Velardi kept their jobs, while Republican Nancy Sirios lost hers as Register of Probate as she was ousted by Democratic Cynthia Page Sweeney.
