Dauphinais, Flynn Elected to Grafton Selectmen
Only 300 votes separated first from fourth place in the annual town election.
More than 1,600 Grafton residents headed to the polls on election day yesterday, making for a close race for the two vacant Board of Selectmen seats.
Craig Dauphinais took the highest number of votes  with 843, while Dennis Flynn came in second with 731. The two men will take seats on the board after they are sworn in at the Town Clerk's office; the selectmen have a meeting scheduled for tonight.
Dauphinais previously served on the Board of Selectmen, but has not been a member since his term ended three years ago. Flynn has never served as a selectman.
