Final tally from May 17 primary election in Kootenai County
Three cheers to the Kootenai County Elections Office for its outstanding work Tuesday night. The print edition of the Wednesday Press has final results because of that stout work, and a certain bald editor will get more sleep than he expected.
If there's room for gloom, it's this: Only 22.61 percent of registered voters bothered to cast ballots.
Here are the final but unofficial numbers:
