Unofficial numbers show Bly, Neuville, Malecha win

Editor's note: 7:30 a.m. We will have a complete list of results posted soon. The big update this morning is that the school district excess levy proposal passed handily, with 52.86 percent in favor and 42.45 percent opposed.

OK, the modems at City Hall didn't work, so the official results are dragging, but the very unofficial numbers show Democrat David Bly and Republican Tom Neuville ahead in squeakers, with Galen Malecha ahead of Betsy Buckheit by only 10 votes in their race for the Rice County Board.

The numbers that appear on the Secretary of State's website show:

State Senate
Tom Neuville: 16,730
Jessica Peterson: 15,500

State Representative
David Bly: 9,292
Ray Cox: 9,235

Rice County Board:
Galen Malecha: 2,041
Betsy Buckheit: 2,031

Northfield City Council: Ward 4
Jon Denison: 780
Victor Summa: 731
