One Vote May Elect Auditor in County Wide Race
A tight county race says Olson leads McGregor by one vote for auditor with several precincts sealed and not yet opened. Eastern precincts favored McGregor, western precincts favored Olson, and Alpha and Roberts votes remain uncertain. Stoddard wins the second district commissionership, defeating Holven by a wide margin, while Beach voters delivered a severe jolt to Holven's backers. The official count and possible recounts could delay final results.
