WOODBURY VOTES CANVASSED

WOODBURY COUNTY SUPERVISORS CERTIFIED THE VOTES FROM THE JUNE 5TH PRIMARY AT THEIR MEETING TUESDAY MORNING.

COUNTY AUDITOR PAT GILL SAYS AROUND 30 ABSENTEE BALLOTS WERE RECEIVED THAT WERE POSTMARKED BEFORE JUNE 5TH, AND FOUR OF FIVE PROVISIONAL BALLOTS WERE ACCEPTED, BUT THOSE VOTES DID NOT CHANGE ANY OF THE FINAL ELECTION RESULTS.

GILL SAYS SOME WRITE IN BALLOTS WERE RECEIVED WITH UNUSUAL NAMES ON THEM:

OTIS WAS THE TOWN DRUNK ON THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW. OTHER VOTES WERE CAST LOCALLY FOR DONALD DUCK AND BARACK OBAMA.
