(KAIR)--More than half of Atchison County's registered voters cast ballots in the November 5 election, along with a high number of advance ballots cast.

That was explained Tuesday by Atchison County Clerk Michelle Phillips, meeting with the Atchison County Commission, acting as the Board of Canvassers, with the ballots reviewed for the canvass.

Once the review of provisional, or questionable, ballots was complete, and the other ballots canvassed, there was no substantial change in the outcome of races, as seen election night.

Following the discussion, and detailed outline of the provisional ballots by Phillips, Commissioner Eric Noll called for the vote to finalize the canvass.

The amended and finalized results, as approved by the Board, are posted to the Atchison County website.

The only contested, key Atchison County race on November 5 was that of Atchison County Sheriff, with incumbent Jack Laurie challenged, through write-in campaign, by Adam Potts. Potts, a fellow Republican to Laurie, attempted unsuccessfully to defeat him in the August primary election. The finalized numbers, following Tuesday's canvass, shows Potts receiving 1,700 votes to Laurie's 4,741 in the November 5 election.
