Canvass accepts Sept. 30 runoff: Victoria Thompson declared winner
Summary
The canvass meeting accepted the Sept. 30 runoff results: 193 ballots were cast (19.15% turnout). Victoria Thompson received 115 votes to Bridal Horsfields 78; the board voted to accept the results and signed canvass paperwork.
The canvass meeting accepted the results of the Sept. 30 runoff on a voice vote, concluding that Victoria Thompson received 115 votes to Bridal Horsfields 78 in an election with 193 ballots cast of 1,008 registered voters (19.15% turnout).
Officials reported the totals at the start of the meeting. Speaker 2 summarized the count: "So we had a total of 193 voters, okay, out of 1,008 possible. So we had 19.15% turnout," and added, "Victoria Thompson received 115, Bridal Horsfield received 78, and we had no write ins at all." Those figures were the basis for the canvass action.
The presiding officer then put a motion on the table to accept the results. After a member moved and another seconded, the presiding officer called for a voice vote: multiple participants responded "aye," and the motion to accept the results was carried.
After the vote, staff handled signature pages and the certificate required for the canvass record. Speaker 2 noted where signatures were required and directed participants to sign both pages and the certificate before the meeting concluded.
The meeting closed after a brief procedural adjournment motion. No formal protests or alternate tallies were recorded in the transcript during the canvass; participants did recall a prior runoff that had required drawing lots and a later recount when absentee ballots arrived after election day.
