    The percentages under Cache County Executive add up to 113.39%

    It should be
    Cache County Executive
    David Zook (R) 13,738 56.987%
    Marc Ensign (R – Write-In) 7,119 29.53%
    Write-In Ballots Not Assigned 3,252 13.49%

    It looks like the “Write-In Ballots Not Assigned” was not included in the the total votes cast

    Cache County just raised everyone’s property taxes through the roof and now everyone votes in favor of increasing taxes to pay for open space and extend RAPZ. So, as property values tank with this market the and county charges us like they’re worth what they were last year, let’s throw more taxes on the ballot for next year. It’s only another $2/mth here and there…

    These results are not accurate and have been updated by the county after adding Ensign’s write-in votes. Ensign is now at 12,530 or just under 43% and the gap is continuing to narrow.
