Meeting Information
Election Canvass
Gaughan called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, November 15, 2012 with all Commissioners present. The purpose of the Special Meeting was to canvass the results of the General Election held on November 6, 2012.
Evan Ice, County Counselor, updated the County Commissioners on the legal outcome of a suit filed in federal court by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach. Due to a close race for the Kansas House in the 54th District, Kobach sought to prevent Representative Ann Mah from obtaining from county officials the names of the voters who cast provisional ballots. On Wednesday, November 14, 2012, U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten denied Kobach's request for a restraining order. Ice predicts no further action required by the County of Douglas.
Gaughan directed the County Clerk to address the Provisional Ballots from precincts 59 and 67 first.
