Follow-Up: Latah County Recount of 2,343 Unreported Ballots Changes No Results; Moscow School Levy Passes at 60.34%
Idaho's Latah County completed a full recount of the November 3 election on November 10. After adding 2,343 previously unreported ballots, every race and measure result remained unchanged. The county clerk's office found in a routine post-election review that the early in-person ballots had been tallied by the counting machines but not fully transmitted to the statewide election-night reporting system; they made up 12.9% of the county's 18,104 ballots. Secretary of State Phil McGrane called it a procedural error.
The recount took nearly 12 hours under supervision of the Secretary of State's office, with countywide turnout at 75%. The closest measure was the Moscow School District 281 plant facilities reserve fund levy, which passed with 60.34% support, just 0.34 percentage points above the 60% threshold. In the county commission race, Dan Schoenberg beat Laura Heinse by 129 votes. The Secretary of State's office also found that Bannock County's post-election review turned up 333 ballots not counted on election night.
Updated results are posted at VoteIdaho.gov. The Latah County commissioners are set to certify the results at a 3 p.m. meeting on November 12, and the state board of canvassers will begin a statewide election results audit on November 13.
