The Humboldt County Iowa Board of Supervisors convened on November 13, 2024, to discuss election results and various local governance matters. The meeting primarily focused on the canvassing of votes from the recent elections, with detailed reports on the outcomes for various positions.

The session began with the review of write-in candidates and their respective tallies. It was noted that Robert F. Kennedy had received votes, although he had withdrawn from the race. The discussion then moved to the results for U.S. Representative District 4, where incumbent Feenstra garnered 488 votes against K. Melton's 126, with no write-ins recorded.

As the meeting progressed, the board examined results for the U.S. Senate District 28, where candidate Dude received 473 votes, while Opendal and Passion collectively received 135 votes. The board also reviewed the results for State Representative District 56, where Thompson received 479 votes and Cruz 132, with no write-ins reported.

The Board of Supervisors for District 4 reported no votes, attributed to the absence of candidates in that district. The results for District 5 showed Bob Rasmussen as the candidate with votes, although specific numbers were not detailed in the transcript.

The auditor's race was also discussed, with Chris Erickson receiving 554 votes and 6 write-ins. Sheriff Krueger received 564 votes, with 15 write-ins noted. The board expressed some disappointment over the lack of visibility for write-in candidates, which often provide humorous insights into voter preferences.

The meeting concluded with a review of township trustee positions, where most reported zero votes. The board confirmed the results for various townships, including Avery, Beaver, Cornett, and others, all showing no votes cast.

Overall, the meeting was characterized by a methodical review of election results, with the board ensuring accuracy in the canvassing process. The next steps will likely involve addressing any discrepancies and finalizing the official results for the county.
