09/20/2005: "Soon To Be County Commissioner: Myhr"

Commissioner Elect, Bob Myhr

Two minutes after the polls closed at 8 PM, Boy Myhr was declared the winner by 57% of the votes counted, against 43% for Jamie Stephens.

The school levy on San Juan Island passed by a 67% margin

There are as still as many as 1,200 votes to count, but historically the additional votes have not changed an election when there is this great of a spread, and they are not expected to change the outcome of the current election results.

The BOCC has agreed to appoint the winner of the election to the vacant seat on the board as soon as all of the votes have been counted; Bob Myhr will soon begin his new job.
