County Seat Comment on Buncombe Capel Township Voting
The county board of supervisors halted the Buncombe and Capel townships from counting their election returns after errors in certification. Buncombe’s exclusion swung the supervisor race to Heideman and hurt Smith, while Capel’s omission did not alter overall results. The board then treated other clerks’ marginal vote tallies for the court house question as valid, increasing the anti-court-house majority to 180. Also noted: Chicago Lady Quartette performed in Grinnell with strong turnout from Alton and others.
