Two Davis County state house races are separated by fewer than 400 votes each, and 30,000 ballots remain uncounted.

Davis County Clerk Brian McKenzie said the morning of Nov. 4 that his office still had 30,000 ballots to process. "A chunk of it (numbers) will be released today and the rest will be released tomorrow," McKenzie told the Davis Journal. "It will add some votes but how that will change the outcome we'll find out with everyone."

All results are unofficial.

In House District 16, Republican Bob Stevenson held 50.95% to Democrat Abigail Treasure's 49.05%, a gap of 192 votes. The Standard-Examiner reported Stevenson had 5,128 votes to Treasure's 4,936 as of 11:30 p.m. Nov. 3.

In House District 20, Democrat Phil Graves led incumbent Republican Melissa Ballard 51.98% to 48.02%, a margin of 358 votes. The Standard-Examiner reported Graves had 4,691 votes to Ballard's 4,333 as of the same time.

Neither race has been certified or called.

Countywide, voter turnout reached 43.44%. The Davis Journal reported 86,932 ballots were cast out of 200,115 registered voters. McKenzie said the vast majority were mail-in ballots, with only about 8,000 of roughly 120,000 voters casting ballots in person.

McKenzie said there were more provisional ballots than expected. He also noted that many Davis County voters hold onto their ballots until the last day. He estimated 30% to 40% of the 40,000 drop-box ballots arrived on Election Day, forcing his office to send teams to collect, process and log them.

Two statewide constitutional amendments also appeared on the Davis County ballot. Amendment A, which would change how proposed constitutional amendments are published, was on track to pass with 65.05% support. Amendment B, which would require citizen-proposed laws that increase taxes to be approved by at least 60% of voters, was trailing with 60.78% opposed.

As we reported Nov. 3, former Davis County Commissioner Bret Millburn led Republican Susan Lee 50.66% to 49.34% in the Commission Seat B race. That contest also remains within reach of the uncounted ballots.

State House Rep. Raymond Ward was unopposed and retained his seat, as was Kendalyn Harris for County Commissioner Seat A, the Davis Journal reported.

McKenzie said his office would release additional vote totals Nov. 4 and Nov. 5.
