Ranette Boyd, City Secretary, presented for
Council's review and canvass the official tabulation
sheets of votes cast in the May 30, 1992 Runoff
Election. According to Ms. Boyd, these tabulation
sheets show by precinct the number of ballots cast
for each candidate, and the number of over votes and
under votes in the precinct. An over vote is cast
in a race if a voter voted for more than one
candidate, and an under vote is cast in a race if
the voter does not mark the ballot.
Ms. Boyd stated that in preparing for the canvass,
she discovered that in Precinct #7 (District #6),
the number of ballots shown on the tabulation sheet
and the number of voted ballots listed by the
election judge on the Precinct #7 "Register of
Ballots" were out of balance by 52 votes.
The tabulation from Central Counting showed that 318
ballots had been counted; however, the Precinct
Judge's "Register of Ballots" showed that 370 voted
ballots had been cast. A check of a second ballot
box from Precinct #7 which should have been returned
empty, contained 52 voted ballots which were not
tabulated. This box was turned in locked at the
Court House on Saturday night and has remained there
since that time.
0n the morning of June 1, the 52 ballots were
tabulated by Lubbock County Data Processing
personnel. Listed below are the totals from
Saturday night and the June 1 totals, which include
the 52 ballots. As a result, Mikel Ward gained 30
votes and Alex "Ty" Cooke gained 22 votes.
Precinct 7
5130192 6101192
Mikel Ward 199 229
Alex "Ty" Cooke 180 202
Ms. Boyd explained that the indication of 19 of 20
precincts reporting at the top of the final
tabulation sheet was because no votes were cast in
Precinct #50. Presented for the official canvass
were the following results:
Council Member District #4
Max L. Ince 1,835 67.29%,
Bill Maloy 883 32.38%
Council Member District #6
Alex "Ty" Cooke 1,250 53.69%
Mikel Ward 1,073 46.09%
Total votes cast in City Election: 5,055 (including
799 early ballots).
Each of the Councilmembers were given tabulation
sheets to review and for their approval. Ms. Boyd
recommended favorable approval of the resolution
canvassing the returns and declaring the results
presented above.
