One Indiana County Still Has No Totals WIth Tuesday's Primary

Last updated on Thursday, May 4, 2006

(UNDATED) - Most of Indiana’s congressional and legislative primaries were landslides, but one race might not be fully resolved until later today.

Bruce Wissel acknowledges it'll be an uphill battle to make up a 600-vote deficit in his bid to unseat Richmond senator Allen Paul in the Republican Primary.

But Randolph County results have been delayed by a crash of the counting software. Clerk Claudia Thornburg says she's waiting on a technician from Voting Technologies International to fly in from Milwaukee. She had hoped for results yesterday, but the technician's plane had been grounded in Detroit by fog.

Returns are final now in two house races. Jeffersonville Democrat Carlene Bottorff lost her seat to Steven Stemler by 145 votes, the tightest race in Tuesday's election. And Logansport republican Rich McClain held off challenger Rick Eller by about 400 votes.
