CdA School Site Disagrees w/Clerk
As you know, the Coeur d’Alene School District and Kootenai County clerk’s office were involved in a flap re: official count of a second issue on the ballot for the recent school district levy election. The school district believes the clerk’s office was remiss in counting no votes for a second ballot measure (for an additional $5 million in funding) when someone voted no on the first issue (for renewal of the $7.8M levy). Ballot language said that a no vote on the first measure meant a no vote on the second. Many patrons who voted against the first measure didn’t mark the second one. As a result, the district’s Web site shows the second measure winning with 55.18% of the vote , while the county clerk’s office has the measure winning with 85.69% of vote. Both entities have the first measure winning with more than 64% of the vote.
Question: Which percentage do you think accurately reflects the will of Coeur d’Alene School District voters?
