Commissioners Barbara Albright, Harold Coleman and Lynne Oharah served as the canvass committee with Counselor Justin Meeks as a witness. There were 231 provisional ballots cast. Following rules from the Kansas Secretary of State's office, not all of those ballots were counted. See Saturday's edition for the final tally, which commissioners signed off on Tuesday.
