The slim majority lead held currently by Zane E. Hall over 7th place finisher Tamara Nelsen is well within the margin of change possible when the Cheyenne County elections canvassing board takes up the issue of counting approximately 240 absentee ballots along with 28 provisional ballots cast on Tuesday.
According to a post on her campaign blog site, Nelsen feels she still may have a chance yet to pass current sixth place candidate Hall. Currently Hall holds a slim lead of sixteen votes over Nelsen, who graciously thanked her supporters for their efforts in promoting her campaign.
Based on the nature of those who tend to vote early and absentee, the odds may indeed favor Nelsen. Zane Hall, who ran pretty much a grassroots effort to get younger people involved in the race might need a little Scott's Turfbuilder to preserve his lead, if the choice were limited to just these two candidates.
Although it will not be impossible for Nelsen to pick up some extra votes in the canvassing board tally beginning Thursday afternoon, based on the results from Tuesday evening, there will most likely be a strong gap between the top three and the rest of the pack.
Far stranger things have happened in the world of politics.
