Write-in bids for Fenton and Burton fall short in Douglas county
A Democratic write-in effort for Seth Fenton of Vinland in the eleventh district and D L Burton of Lone Star in the twelfth district appeared to fail in Douglas county. Unofficial tallies gave Fenton 80 votes and Burton 103 with Willow Springs not yet counted. To qualify for November the two must each reach about 160 votes, a threshold observers doubt they will meet. The Willow Springs board delayed tallying unofficial results due to missing certificates and incomplete reporting at the polling place.
