County Clerk Daryl Tabor tabulated votes Tuesday night in the courthouse under the scrutiny of Sheriff Wayne Agent and election officials Kathleen Guess and Hugh Highfil. |

Due to the pandemic, voting lasted nearly a month. There were 19 days of early voting prior to Election Day and there's likely to be a strong legislative push to see that such opportunities are made available in future elections.
