Unofficial Election Results

Thayer County has 73% voter turnout.

Following the provisional ballot count, a proposed bond issue for an $11 million upgrade to Thayer Central Community Schools did not pass by a margin of 19 votes. Final count for Proposition A: For…696 – Against…715. Proposition B: For…567 – Against…827. Thayer County election official Marie Rauner said in the case of a bond issue, there is no provision for a recount and if the issue fails, it may not appear in an election for six months.

Thayer County stayed true to the Republican Party voting for new leadership in the nation and state. Voters signaled a desire for Mitt Romney to take the chief spot in the White House opting to oust the current president Barack Obama.

At the state level the Republican ticket also ruled as voters sought to have Deb Fischer’s representation in the U.S. Senate and Adrian Smith speak for them in Congress.
