2014 Election Results

11/4/2014

County residents waited for two hours after the closing of the polls today due to an exceedingly high number of discredited write-in votes, over 800. The Clerk's office said that there were many uncontested races, however, there was a spot on the ballot in each race for "write-in." The law says unless a write-in vote is for a candidate that has filed as such, the vote doesn't count. Apparently, there were many votes for people like "Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Uncle Si, and Kanye West". Unfortunately, none of those names had filed as write-in candidates, voiding those votes. 

As far as the local elections tallied up, there were races that were fairly close, while others saw very large margins. Overall, voter turnout was around average for local races.  Unofficial local totals were:
