With 100 percent of
precincts reporting in Cochise County, Mark Dannels, republican, has a majority
of the votes for sheriff.
Former Sheriff Larry Dever
died after a rollover accident in northern Arizona in September.
Dannels
was the former Cochise County commander.
It was a complicated race
to elect a successor to Dever. Most of the candidates were write-ins and at least
six candidates ran. Included was the acting Sheriff Rodney Rothrock, who served
as chief deputy under Larry Dever.
