Ballot counting #4 - incumbents retain their seats
It appears that the incumbents retained their seats. Still pending all the final numbers, but what I have are the winners with at least 40% of the vote.
District 1 - Aren Gunderson - 471 votes
District 2 - Tom DeLong - 506 votes
District 3 - Rick Schikora - 363 votes (this was a 3 way race)
An update on ballots that weren't countable due to deficiencies - it was 363. That's a lot, but typical, I'm told. While there are clear instructions on the process, I think that there should be a revisit of the multi-step process as it seems disrespectful to discount so many ballots where people at least made the effort to vote.
Here are the more complete results.
