Washington County Clerk Stephanie Rockey is still at the Washington County Justice Center – four hours after the polls closed at 6p – feeding paper ballots into machines to get the final count.
These are paper ballots sent in from early voters that couldn’t be counted until the polls closed at 6p.
Thousands of those votes were being run through the machines and less than 500 remained at 10p.
An unofficial report was printed out for all 22 precincts at 9:24p showed 43.37 percent of the county turned out to vote today with 83 percent (or 2,966) of those casting Republican straight-party votes.
513 or 14.5 percent of the straight-ticket votes were Democratic and 60 were Libertarian.
Locally, the three contested races appear to have been dominated by Republicans.
Republican Nancy Coats captured more than twice as many votes as Democratic incumbent Treasurer Shirley Batt — 5,202 to 2,740.
Republican Emily Rodman won the race for Surveyor with 82 percent of the vote against Libertarian Max Greene, who captured 17 percent of the vote.
The other race involved Republican incumbent Rick Roberts for District 3 Commissioner against Libertarian Rhonda Greene.
Roberts captured 6,126 (80.85 percent) of the vote compared to Greene’s 19.15 percent (1,204 votes).
In the race for Salem School Board member at large, the top four spots so far include Mark A Day (1,496 votes), Ray Oppel (1,293 votes), Rebecca “Becky” Humphrey (1,225), and Allison Jean Ezzell (1,082 votes).
With those remaining votes yet to be tallied, these totals could change and those in the fifth and sixth spots could gain momentum.
Aaron “Spud” Schocke has 1,059 votes – just 23 votes behind Ezzell.
Benjamin T. Bowers would be in sixth place at 800 votes.
