After an initial count of absentee and questioned ballots Tuesday, Homer resident Sarah Vance’s lead in the House District 31 Republican primary race has grown. Vance led her main opponent John Cox of Anchor Point by just 30 votes after polls closed last week. Vance now leads by 94 votes.
However, absentee ballots may continue to show up until the state Division of Elections tallies up the votes one last time on Friday.
