EDITORIAL: Too many races are already over York Dispatch Editorial Board Not the primary election, the municipal election. The November election. Barring write-in campaigns, many of the races in last week's primary decided who will hold offices around York County. There's only one mayoral race in the county that's still contested — thanks, Red Lion! Even in York City, incumbent Mayor Michael Helfrich won't have an opponent on the ballot — no Republicans ran in the primary, and no other Democrats did, either. In races for borough councils, township boards of supervisors, constables, tax collectors, judges of elections, school district directors and more, only voters in one party had an opportunity to cast a vote for someone to fill the posts.
