2010 Johnson County Fair Mock Election

The Auditor’s Office hosted its annual mock election as part of the Johnson County Government exhibit in Exhibition Hall B at the Johnson County Fair July 26-29.

This year voters made choices in ten mock election contests: eight county-wide candidate contests and two ballot issues.

All persons attending the fair, including children and guests from outside Johnson County, were able to see and use real voting booths and machines to participate in the mock election. Participants were asked to vote only once. Results were posted daily.

Differences between fair ballot and general election ballot

Because the county fair fell before the August 13 filing deadline for state and federal office, the Auditor's Office had to determine which candidates to include based on news reports and campaign websites. There were some differences between the fair ballot and the actual general election ballot:

  • US Senate: Hennager did not qualify.
  • Governor: Phillips and Barth did not qualify. David Rosenfeld (Socialist Workers) and Gregory Hughes (nominated by petition) did qualify.
  • All other contests: the candidates listed, and no others, qualified.
