(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Commission broke two tie votes Monday for city and school board positions during a canvass of ballots from the November 5 election.

Steve Bennett's name was drawn from among four write-in candidates who tied with one vote each for position 1 on the Nemaha Central Board of Education. The other candidates were Brett Brack, Larry Osterhaus and Barbara Finnegan. No candidate was listed on the ballot for the position.

Bennett was also successful as a write-in candidate seeking to return to his 2nd Ward Seneca City Council seat.

The other tie vote was for the final seat on the Goff City Council. Two individuals had tied with one vote each. Commissioners drew the name of Baron Large to fill the seat. Also receiving a vote was Dennis Rice.

No election night winners were changed during the canvass—including the outcome of the close race for Corning mayor. John Kramer successfully unseated incumbent Corning Mayor Jackie Heideman by a one-vote margin---44 to 43.
