A surge of votes in the latest updated count by Klickitat County election officials may be enough to ensure Bob Songer is re-elected to a third term as sheriff. After trailing by just under 50 votes heading into the weekend, the latest numbers released Monday evening left Songer with a 159 vote lead over challenger Garique Clifford. Songer now has 5,571 votes, to Clifford’s 5,412. Klickitat County will issue another update Tuesday, but now estimates only 229 ballots are left to count. Skamania County will also issue an update today that could impact its close Sheriff’s race. Summer Scheyer has a 40-vote lead with 2,888 to 2,848 for David Waymire. Skamania County estimates 125 ballots remain to be counted.
