Odd Vote Count In Precinct 6

Kootenai County Elections Department results offer one silly misprint re: Kootenai County GOP Central Committee Chairwoman Tina Jacobson's run for Precinct No. 6 committeewoman. According to the results, she received 345 votes running unopposed. The problem? Only 326 votes were cast in Precinct 6 -- 310 by Republicans, 10 by Democrats, and 6 by non-affiliated voters. Or 19 votes less than Jacobson got. No, I don't think there's any conspiracy or mischief afoot. Just an amusing error.
