The Commission certified the results unanimously, citing no major issues with the election or the canvassing process.
âAll three of the commissioners were present from time to time â Patsy (Trecost) and I were there from start to finish,â Commissioner Ron Watson said. âI think it went pretty smoothly and was pretty transparent. Everything was ensured that every vote counted.â
