While accepting he finished last in the 11-person race for property assessor, Democratic candidate Jeff McGee says he believes there were flaws in our election system after he received no votes in five precincts.McGee claims friends and relatives are ready to issue sworn statements they did vote for him in those precincts, despite an election commission report that shows he did not get any votes there.“There’s something fishy that went on and I’m not real comfortable with it,” McGee said after reviewing the election results. “I’m not so shocked about losing, it’s the low number and all those zeros that don’t make sense.”McGee, who fell short in a run for county clerk several years ago, was making his second bid for office, this time for property assessor. However, he finished last in the Democratic Primary last week, getting a total of 64 votes.
