The race for the 111th Kansas House of Representatives District is still too close to call.

According to the unofficial vote total Tuesday night Republican Barb Wasinger leads incumbent Democratic Representative Eber Phelps by just 40 votes (4,259 to 4,219).

There are still 196 provisional ballots and at least 39 advanced votes that have not been counted.

According to County Election official Donna Maskus, it is possible that not all of the 196 provisional ballots can be counted. They have to be checked against state statute to determine if they are counted.

They will also count advanced ballots that were postmarked by Election Day and received by Friday. They will begin counting those ballots this week.

The official canvass of the vote totals will be on Thursday Nov. 15th at 5 p.m. at the County Administrative Center.
