« BREAKING! Kershner now leads McShane for County Council seat
If my math is correct … »

Calling it: Mann will become new County Councilman

With perhaps just a few thousand more ballots to count, depending on how many will be invalidated, it’s impossible for Everson small business owner Mary Beth Teigrob to overtake County Planning Commissioner Ken Mann’s lead in the race for the County Council’s District 2 seat.

According to my math, Teigrob would need more than 76 percent of the rest of the potential votes to win, and not all ballots that haven’t been tallied in the vote column will be processed because they’re invalid.

I’m calling the race and have sought comment — for the third time this week — from Teigrob once again. She hasn’t returned repeated phone calls and now her campaign cell phone has been turned off.

    I hope Mary Beth takes another crack at it, she is a good candidate and person.

    Ken Mann had to try twice himself.

    There will be another election just down the road!

    Ken, take two aspirin and stuff cotton balls in your ears to stop the internal screaming you will be hearing for the next two years with Crawford, Brenner, Kershner and Knutzen as council mates.
