If I’m reading the Benton County Election Results page correctly, the Kennewick School District bond measure has passed!

That page, which was updated about two hours ago, shows that the measure currently has a 61.58% “YES” vote. (A 60% approval is required to pass.) It says there are still 150 ballots still to be counted, but according to my math, even if all 150 of those are NO votes, the YES votes still amount to 61.06% of the total.

So it seems to me that the bond measure has passed! Or am I misreading that page?

UPDATE: I emailed Stuart Holmes, the county’s Election Supervisor, to see if I’m reading those numbers correctly, and here’s his reply:

“We will be certifying the May Special Election results on June 3rd. Ballots that are returned to our office with a valid postmark or are a registered Military/Overseas voter can still be counted. The number of valid postmarks and/or Military/Overseas voters will be fairly small but nothing is official until it has been certified by the Canvassing Board.”
