Millburn has received 54,475 votes (50.01%) while Lee has received 54,457 votes (49.99%).

Millburn retook the lead after Lee took the lead following Thursday’s update. Lee led after Thursday’s update by 344 votes. Millburn led by 892 votes after Wednesday’s update.

Entering Tuesday, there were 1,748 ballots available to be counted and 2,946 ballots that have been rejected but could be cured for a total of 4,694 potentially countable ballots.

Thursday’s update takes that potentially countable ballot figure down to 3,336. How many of those ballots are in the bucket of available to be counted and potentially available to be counted if cured is unknown. In an email to the Standard-Examiner, Davis County Clerk Brian McKenzie said that breakdown would be published shortly.

Speaking to the Davis County Commission on Tuesday, McKenzie said a good share of the ballots that could potentially be counted are provisional ballots.

“These are voters who when they showed up to vote on election day – their registration status was in question,” McKenzie said. “And so we have to work through that process and validate those.

“And then the remaining ballots are primarily by-mail ballots that had been questioned because the signature didn’t match or an ID number was missing or didn’t match there, and so we’ve been working with voters to contact them and inform them of that status and provide them an opportunity to correct that.”

McKenzie said voters have through next Monday to resolve any issues with their ballots and encouraged voters to go to trackmyballot.utah.gov to check the status of their ballot.

“If your ballot is in a status that is not counted, you can reach out to our office,” he said. “We can help you take care of that and make sure that we get that counted.”

McKenzie acknowledged that the result of the race may not be known until next Tuesday when the results are certified.

“We know there’s a lot of interest in that,” he said. “We appreciate the interest, the excitement about these races and we look forward to finishing this up.”

Regarding a potential recount, McKenzie said a recount is required by law if there is a tie. He added that if the difference between the winning and the losing candidate is less than one quarter of one percent, the losing candidate can request a recount. He said such a request would have to be made after Tuesday when the results are certified.

Speaking to the Standard-Examiner after the commission meeting, Lee called the race a roller coaster.

“I think waiting two weeks makes it a very long two weeks, but it is the process and it’s a great process and happy to see it all in action,” Lee said. “Just anxious to hear the results. Very anxious.”

Millburn told the Standard-Examiner that it is “draining” but “also somewhat exciting.” He said he tries not to worry too much because worrying won’t make a difference.

“The votes have been cast, and spending an inordinate amount of time fretting or worrying about it isn’t going to change the outcome, so we just wait for the process to play out,” he said.
