(KAIR)--Voters in Atchison County's Walnut Township, on Tuesday, went to the polls to decide the fate of the Township's Treasurer.
Removal of Duane Boldridge from that role was approved by a total, unofficial vote of 90 to 21.
According to recall election documentation from the Atchison County Clerk's Office, 74 of the votes favoring removal were cast on election day, while 16 were cast in advance. 10 votes opposing Boldridge's removal were cast on election day, while 11 were cast in advance. There were no provisional ballots, according to the totals, which remain unofficial until next week's canvass.
Atchison County Clerk Michelle Phillips, in emailed correspondence with MSC News, says the ballots will be canvassed Monday during the Atchison County Commission's regular weekly meeting, when they will meet as the Board of Canvassers for a portion of the session.
The recall election comes as the Walnut Township Board remains factionalized, with members of the township, on May 3, reporting to the Atchison County Sheriff's Office what Sheriff Jack Laurie calls an "alleged possible forgery of a document pertaining to the duties of the Trustee of the Walnut Township Board."That document, purporting to bear the stamped signature of the County Clerk, and admittedly used in an attempt to remove committee Chair Gary Servaes from the Township's bank accounts, was addressed in public session during the Township Committee's meeting of April 26.
