Voter turnout was higher than reported

Kootenai County voters aren’t so apathetic after all.

It appears voter turnout for the Nov. 4 general election was more than double the 22 percent originally reported by the county elections office.

The turnout percentage posted on the elections office’s website was updated Thursday to 54 percent.

We have reached out to the elections office for an explanation, which we will report once we have the details.
