Lewis County prosecutor candidate Jonathan Meyer looks at the primary election preliminary results shortly after 8 p.m. tonight at the Lewis County Auditors Office.
Incumbent Lewis County Prosecutor Michael Golden looks over the primary preliminary results just after 8 p.m. tonight.
Don’t know for sure.
But the difference is small and I’m not going to phone Gary Zandell and ask about it at this time of night.
I’m looking at the hard copy handed out in the Lewis County Auditors Office printed at 8:07 p.m. tonight, and presumably the same hard copy as was passed out to the many folks who gathered there tonight.
The number of votes each candidate got, for the races I’m looking at, are the same on this hard copy as they are on the web site through the Auditors Office. But each of them show a slightly higher percentage online.
I suspect it has something to do with what Zandell and his people call under votes and over votes. It’s related to ballots in which a voter might ignore a race or where they might inadvertently …. do something else, or some such thing.
More ballots, such as the ones put in the mail today, will be tallied on Friday. The primary election will be certified Sept. 1.
Look at the results in more detail here.
