In a surprising turn of events, an additional vote count late Tuesday night showed the Fort Dodge aquatic center was actually approved.
The final unofficial tally showed that the bond issue passed by a margin of 61.15 percent.
Webster County Auditor Carol Messerly said vote totals released earlier Tuesday night did not include absentee ballots. The absentee ballots pushed the project over the needed 60 percent super majority.
There were 3,962 yes votes and 2,517 no votes.
