GVEA ballot count #5

Final bit of counting of District 5. 213 ballots that were unsigned on the outside are being opened to see if signed on the inside. Of the 1365 pre-verified ballots, it looks like one person got about 500 votes. 40% is needed to avoid a runoff with 3 candidates on the ballot.

Candidates were:
Ron Bergh - incumbent
Tim Beck
Hank Bartos

Beck didn't get very many ballots, but he didn't campaign that anyone could tell.

On the bylaw ballot, 3 piles are being made - Yes on all, No on all, Yes only as approved on the other side.

From my perspective, it looks like the "Yes on all" have the majority, with 2-3 times the pile size compared to the others.
