Election committee chair Robin Walker gave the complete results to Dranesville Supervisor John Foust Saturday night, according to the board's announcement. Walker announced the names of the winners, but withheld the number of votes each candidate received from McLean residents.
She said she would not release the actual vote numbers because "One candidate was not reachable." She has never identified the candidate.
