The total number of ballots cast was 3,507, an increase of eighty-five over last year. Seventy-nine ballots arrived after the November 1 deadline and could not be counted.
Again, the National Computer Systems of Burnsville, Minnesota, scanned the ballots and tabulated the results. Only forty-eight ballots needed to be handcounted. Some voters registered their opinions about the candidates, and the committee will review these criticisms and comments at its next meeting, in February 1993.
