Shoemaker takes second. Subject to an automatic recount.
Seven candidates for the 44th Legislative district. Mark Christensen wins. However, there are only 5 votes seperating second (Frank Shoemaker) and third place (Jeff Tidyman). All provisional ballots must be resolved with seven days of the election. There is an automatic recount if a race is seperated by less than 1% of the vote. Results are not certified until 40 days after the election.
If the latest poll numbers are close to accurate, then this will be a very close Governor's race. Last poll that I was saw of likely Republican voters was
Heineman 43.7%
Osborne 43.2%
In the 2002, 152,725 Republicans voted in the primary. If the same number voted and the above percentages hold true, then the race will be decided by about 760 votes. That means your votes matters.
