Court accepts county canvass of Nov. 4 constitutional amendment election

The court voted to accept the results of the Nov. 4 constitutional amendment election as presented by the election administrator after a motion by Commissioner Akins and a second from Commissioner Perdola.

The acceptance formalizes the county-level canvass of statewide questions. Speaker 2, the election administrator, read county totals for several state propositions; the transcript clearly records Proposition 3 at 5,106 for and 890 against (total 5,999), Proposition 16 at 5,250 for and 764 against (total 6,014), and Proposition 17 at 4,600 for and 1,334 against (total 5,934). Speaker 2 also read other totals that were not clearly recorded in the available transcript.

Speaker 1 recorded the motion and called the voice vote. Speaker 1 said, "Ayes have it. Motion passes." After a brief procedural pause—during which Speaker 1 rescinded an earlier adjournment motion to address outstanding items—the court confirmed whether any documents needed signatures before adjourning.

Commissioner King later moved to adjourn; the motion was seconded (the transcript shows the seconder spelled both as 'Perdola' and 'Perdolos' in different places). Speaker 1 called the voice vote, declared the meeting adjourned, and noted the time as 09:07.

No formal roll-call vote by individual member name was recorded in the transcript for the acceptance motion; the meeting record in the transcript reflects voice voting and the administrator's reading of totals. The transcript does not provide the full set of proposition totals for every item mentioned; several were read but were not clearly captured in the recording.
