I worked on one of many counting boards tonight tallying up the paper ballots for Knox County. We stopped around 2:30am with ~30 precincts remaining to be counted. Counting Board members are coming back in tomorrow at 1pm to resume counting the paper ballots. My observations: 1) Lots of republican ballots with Tyree's name on them --sorry folks, he's not a republican and your vote for him wasn't counted! 2) From the several precincts I was involved in counting, Steve Hall and Mayor Ragsdale were neck and neck, with Hall passing him in each with a small number of votes (Doesn't mean anything, just an observation). 3) Almost every Democratic ballot I seen had Tyree's name on it. There also seemed to be a great GOTV effort by write in's like Amy Broyles and one or two other write ins. 4) TONS of people (republicans) voted paper ballots without writing in anyone. Good night....and good luck! UPDATE: 5:15 PM WED All the precincts paper ballots have been counted and the totals were being worked on when I left a little bit ago...
