The Knox County Election Commission has
wrapped up counting absentee ballots and it doesn't appear that the
extra votes changed the outcome to any election, including the
closest one for the 13th state House District seat,
according to the unofficial results.
Late last night, Administrator of
Elections Cliff Rodgers said the county had about 5,800 voters cast
ballots by mail, so not everything would be complete until today.
The Central Absentee County Board is
now done counting, according to the Knox County Election Commission's
website.
The closest race of the night –
before absentee ballots came in – was the contest between Democrat
Gloria Johnson and Republican Gary Loe, who were vying for the state
House seat. Johnson held a 395-vote lead.
That race had 625 absentee votes and
Johnson's lead dropped to 296.
