Democrat Roger Wilson will be the next state representative for Colorado House District 61, following results of a hand count of 800 under-voted ballots from Garfield County released this afternoon.According to Garfield County Clerk Jean Alberico, ballot inspections over the past two-and-a-half days increased independent write-in candidate Kathleen Curry's total by another 94 votes.
That still left her about 300 votes short of Wilson's total of 9,659 votes.
“That clearly puts me at a point where he's not catchable,” said Curry from her Gunnison home this afternoon, shortly before calling Wilson to concede and congratulate him on the victory. - More -
