ROCK SPRINGS – It was a typical turnout for a presidential election in Sweetwater County according to Sweetwater County Clerk Dale Davis.

Davis said a large number of registered voters turned out to vote Tuesday, but overall it was normal for a presidential election. However, the clerk’s office reported there were lines at several of the polling places due to some voters registering at the polls.

There has been a lot of focus on the election concern the voting process. According to the clerk’s office, they had three wrong ballots given. The office explained three people voted at the White Mountain Library instead of their polling place at Western Wyoming Community College. Other than those three, Davis said it went well.

One big difference which slowed the results was the number of absentee ballots in Sweetwater County. While the county usually deals with around 1,000 to 1,500 absentee ballots during a regular election, this year they received over 3,000.

While precincts were reporting Tuesday night, an absentee board met downstairs at the Green River Courthouse. They checked the ballots with the books to make sure everything matched up before including them in the final vote count.

The Sweetwater County canvassing board will meet Thursday at 4:00 p.m. to make the results official.
