BOISE — Ada County Highway District Commissioner Paul Woods doesn’t plan on running for public office again — at least not for a while.
CALDWELL — Canyon County forgot to count 39 ballots from overseas citizens and active members of the military on election night, according to the elections office.
The all-GOP Ada County Commission was set for change no matter the outcome of the Nov. 6 election, but on Tuesday voters opted to turn the commission blue.
About 50 percent of polling places in Ada County and around 38 percent in Canyon County were at public schools on Election Day.

Ballot Measures
Voters in the Middleton School District will be asked to approve bonds on Nov. 6 to help address school overcrowding and security problems, among other things.
On Election Day, Idaho voters will be able to decide whether or not to dramatically expand who is eligible for government health care.
The Kuna Rural Fire District will have a permanent $1.1 million levy override ballot measure on the Nov. 6 ballot. This means, if approved, the current nearly $1.9 million collected in property taxes will be increased.
NAMPA — The College of Western Idaho is seeking a $39 million plant facilities levy to build a health science building on its Nampa campus.
As Idahoans head to the polls this November, they'll weigh an initiative that would reauthorize betting terminals at Idaho race tracks.
Idahoans will soon decide whether to drastically change who is eligible for government-funded health care statewide.
The first TV campaign commercial is out in the initiative campaign to expand Medicaid in Idaho, and it focuses on returning federal tax dollars to Idaho rather than letting them go to other states — a claim the measure’s opponents immediately decried as false.
