The election may be over but some tight, local races may not be determined until later this week. The reason? Overvotes. Washington County Elections Director Melanie Ostrander says they are dealing with an “unprecedented” number of overvotes for the government study commission selections. Ostrander says many people erroneously chose more than the 11 allowed candidates on their mail-in ballot. As a result, those ballots cannot be counted until they are reviewed by the County Elections Canvass board Friday morning. They will also be individually reviewing some ballots that had unclear markings that the scanner could not count.
