At the November 2, 2010 election, Garrett County, Maryland voters elected a write-in candidate to seat 3 of the County Board of Commissioners.  The election is partisan.  The county was elected three at-large commissioners.  Write-in candidate Bob Gatto received 4,112 votes; Democratic nominee Bill Welch received 2,824; Republican nominee Dennis Glotfelty received 1,947 votes.  Two other declared write-in candidates received 170 votes.

Glotfelty had won the September 2010 primary but then had died of cancer only twelve days before the election.  Before he died, he asked voters to write-in Gatto, whom Glotfelty had defeated in the Republican primary.  Thanks to Jeff Becker for this news.
