Every vote mattered for the Hesston Bond issue, which passed by 11 votes. The Harvey County Canvassing Board (Randy Hague, Chip Westfall, Don Schroeder) certified the bond election and results at a (September) 6 meeting. At the meeting, the board made a determination on which of the 19 provisional ballots were eligible to be counted in the election under state statute. After the County Clerk’s Office tallied the accepted provisional ballots, the final count stood at 800 votes in favor of the bond issue and 789 against. “A vote this close shows how important it is to go vote,” Hague said. “We still had 50 percent of people that could go vote and that didn’t,” Westfall added.
