An extra 170 mailed-in votes were counted today in Wyandotte County, and did not change any of the outcomes in the Tuesday night primary.
One contest remained extremely close, according to the new figures posted on the election commissioner’s website.
Two challengers in the Board of Public Utilities, at large position 1 contest, Bryan Messmer and Kevin Braun, were within 14 votes of each other. Messmer took second in the contest and moves on to the general election with 2,034 votes to Braun’s 2.020 votes. Incumbent Mary Gonzales received 49.2 percent of the vote with 5,806 votes.
The state law had changed this year to allow mailed-in ballots to be postmarked by 7 p.m. election night, and these ballots were counted on Friday. The vote totals will remain unofficial until Monday, when provisional ballots are considered and the election is certified.
