DescriptionIt’s not over until it’s over.

Due to concerns over voter improprieties in the Alpine precinct of Lincoln County, a special election will be held in just that precinct to determine the ultimate outcome of the House District 22 race.

“I was just really interested to see the process unfold,” candidate Jim Roscoe (D) said Wednesday. “They really struggled [with the decision] because they’ve never had to do anything like this before.”

The unofficial results gave Roscoe a slim, four-vote victory over Republican opponent Charles Stough. Lincoln County had voted 368 in favor of Roscoe and 323 for Stough. The complete vote tally was 2,891 for Roscoe and 2,887 for Stough.

“I think I would have been happy with whatever they determined,” Roscoe said.

The State Canvassing Board met on Wednesday morning and voted 3-1 for a revote in the Alpine precinct. The special election will be held on Nov. 25, with further details pending.
