The 2010 Adams county coroner race is facing a possible recount. This will depend on the 2,172 provisional ballots and the 504 “cure” ballots.
Adams County Clerk and Recorder Karen Long reports that a recount could take place if the difference between the total number of votes for the top candidate in the race and the closest opponent is less than or equal to .5% of 1% of the top vote getter. That makes the vote difference needed for a recount in the 2010 Adams county coroner's race 254 votes. According to the "unofficial Vote Results", Candidate Broncucia-Jordan only led by 269 votes, that is only 14 votes ahead of a required recount.
Now comes the issue of the 2,172 provisional ballots and the 504 “cure” ballots. "Cure ballots are those with no signatures on the ballot envelopes, insufficient ID or signature discrepancies," Long said. "These voters have eight days after the election to “cure” the deficiency." Also, the overseas and military voters have eight days after the election to have ballots counted, provided they are postmarked Nov. 2.
So the 2010 Adams county corner race is not quite over yet. As soon as this is all sorted out, we will finally report who the candidate will be.
