Douglas County preliminary results rolled in at 1:15 a.m., giving majorities to the three school board challengers, according to the Clerk-Treasurer’s Office.
Election Day turnout was half that anticipated with 4,604 voters casting a ballot using a polling machine, according to results at Govotedouglas.com.
That brought the total to 21,319 or just 52% turnout.
The number of in-person voters was likely reduced by the snowstorm that arrived two hours after voting started.
According to early results, Susan Jansen was ahead of Robbe Lehman 10,609-8,090 votes. Katherine Dickerson had the tightest lead over Heather Jackson with 9,985-8,663 votes and David Burns was leading Roberta Butterfield 10,228-8,567.
