Amador County - The Board of Supervisors met last Wednesday for a special meeting to certify the results of the November 4th Election. The brief meeting that was planned took somewhat longer when Registrar of Voters Sheldon Johnson surprised the Board with the presentation of an antique County map. The map is dated 1896 and outlines in detail the numerous mining claims from that period. The map includes Amador, Calaveras, Tuolumne and Mariposa Counties. It was given to Supervisor Oneto as a gift during a property deal. The Supervisors were all impressed with the generous gift. “This will be a great addition to the County,” said Forster. As for the certification, the Supervisors unanimously approved to make all vote tallies official. Johnson proudly noted that this year’s voting percentage in Amador County was 88.56 percent, up from 88.34 percent in 2004. Amador County has one of the highest voting percentages in California.
