Storm causes long delay in vote count

By Walter Mares, Copper Era Managing Editor

Grace Nabor sailed to easily win the Democratic nomination for Greenlee County District 1 Justice of the Peace. It was one of only two contested local races in the Sept. 12 Primary Election.

Nabor received 375 votes to more than double the 185 garnered by Michael Andazola and the 178 cast for David Gonzales.

The total includes early voting ballots. About 20 provisional ballots remain. All results are unofficial until they are canvassed next week.

In the District 2 Constable race, Michael Acosta appears to have won a narrow victory over fellow Democrat Julie Kluth by a 132-125 margin. John Tea had 107 votes.

There was a long delay in the vote count due to a fierce rain storm that knocked out communications lines from electronic voting machines at polling sites to the county courthouse in Clifton. Machines had to be brought in from the eight precinct polling sites and downloaded at the courthouse.

Despite the poor turnout of only 34 percent of registered voters, unofficial vote counting was not wrapped up until about 11:30 p.m. due to the storm-related delay.

    " I went to this camp in the summer of 05 when they were located in concho. I highly doubt that vallentine is telling the truth because when i went they was plenty of food. I remeber that they made us but on spf 50 sunscreen by the gallons. They provided us with gallons of water a day. I think that denton should have stayed in concho because it was a lot better. Big deal the recruits have no ac or water. what to expect bootcamp to be a vaction? And by the way the dirt isnt going to kill you "

    " I graduated with these guys and it's sad to say that I'm really not that surprised. They're meat heads and are a "few fries short of a happy meal". The authorities did nothing wrong, these people made a dumb choice and will have to deal with the consequences.

    P.S. Doug did it. "

    " Why doesn't this newspaper admit that the story reported by Pam Crandall, as related by Jesse MacBeth, in the above article, is a flat out lie??? MacBeth has since admitted that he did not go to Iraq and that he made up all of the stories repeated by Pam Crandall. Please tell the truth. The longer that the Courier stands by these lies the sillier it looks. "

    " i am writting to say that this was a harmless prank and just a little fun for these two innocent teenagers. they should have not gotten in that much trouble for just a harmless prank. being a friend to them you wouldnt see it in my view. they were just looking to have fun in safford because there is nothing else to do and jose hernandez should have not been sent to ADJC on his first crime he ever commited.
