City, school board counts are official
There were no surprises during Monday’s official canvass by the Ellsworth County commissioners of votes cast during the Nov. 5 general election.
According to Ellsworth County Clerk Shelly Vopat, 30 percent of the 4,160 eligible voters in the county voted. Out of 23 provisional ballots cast, only 11 counted. The rest were denied by the county commissioners because they were not signed or because there was something wrong with the voter’s registration.
