Primary Election Returns Show Surprises and Strong Republican Ticket
The Republican primary produced surprises with Halvorson and Amundson fluctuating in Clerk of Courts results. Local counts showed minor tally errors, a recount request denied, and Lincoln township figures clarified by committee. Coroner Wilson and Surveyor Callwell ran unopposed, while supervisor and precinct committee races featured close votes and a tied Twelve Mile Lake result decided by lot. The full slate reflects a robust GOP showing ahead of November.
