Although the votes don't become official until Monday, and despite a write-in campaign launched for the Atchison County Treasurer's Office, the unofficial results prove that seat will go to Connie Ellerman.
The win comes despite a strong write-in effort staged by longtime Treasurer Sheila Bilderback, who lost to Ellerman in the August Republican primary election.
The unofficial results of Tuesday's general election show that Atchison County voters cast 4,490 votes for Ellerman.
That's compared to the 960 votes cast by voters exercising the write-in option who correctly spelled Bilderback's full name. Each misspelled write-in required a separate entry, with a total of 299 of such votes recorded.
With all apparent write-in votes cast for Bilderback totaled, she received support from 1,209 voters.
Other candidates written in for the Treasurer's role included the fictional Mickey Mouse, Anyone Else, and a variety of local residents not seeking election.
All results from Tuesday's general election will remain unofficial until they are canvassed Monday morning by the Atchison County Commission, acting as the Atchison County Board of Canvassers.
