Heart of a Servant: Hometown Hero Jordan Johnson reflects on duty, family and gratitude

POCATELLO — Veterans Day often means different things to different people. For Pocatello police Cpl. Jordan Johnson, service to his fellow man is a huge honor and responsibility, a standard of excellence formed by the heroes who came before him. Johnson’s family has a history of service in the military that spans generations. Both of his grandfathers served, something he took to heart when he enlisted in the Idaho Army National Guard at 17. “They came before me and they cleared a path,” Johnson said. “To be able to be counted among them has been this very sacred honor because I always looked up to them so much. So to have people put me in the same category as them is hard for me to fathom.” Johnson was recognized as Idaho State University’s Hometown Hero at a recent football game. His achievements in service have a far-reaching impact, but he said the part of the day he will remember is watching his oldest son smile. “My oldest son has special needs, and we weren’t sure how he would do, because he struggles in environments like that,” Johnson said. “He was the one holding the football, and he had a big

Bannock County finds 333 uncounted ballots from Pocatello precinct

POCATELLO — Earlier today, the Bannock County Clerk’s Office notified the Secretary of State’s Office that 333 ballots cast in the November 3, 2026 General Election in Bannock County Precinct, Pocatello 2 had not been counted on election night. The ballots in question were identified during the post-election review process. After tabulating the additional ballots, no outcomes were changed. All 333 ballots were from the same precinct. The closest results for any election involving the Pocatello 2 precinct were for the County Coroner's race, which was separated by 4,857 votes. “Once again, this demonstrates the importance of the reconciliation process we use to verify election results following every election,” said Secretary of State Phil McGrane. “While I am thankful that these ballots were identified, we will be working to determine why these ballots were not processed on election night and working with counties across the state to reinforce our election processes.” “Needless to say, this should not have happened. We take pride in Bannock County in the work that goes into running our elections,” said Bannock County Clerk Jason Dixon. “We are working closely with the Secretary of State’s office to ensure full transparency and to determine if additional steps

Bannock County drawn for random state hand-count audit days after discovery of 333 uncounted ballots

POCATELLO — State auditors are headed to Bannock County. Bannock is one of eight Idaho counties drawn at random Friday for a post-election hand count, days after local officials disclosed that 333 ballots from a Pocatello precinct had sat uncounted in a poll worker’s pickup truck for a week. Secretary of State Phil McGrane, Controller Brandon Woolf and Treasurer Julie Ellsworth, who make up the state Board of Canvassers, conducted the drawing at the Idaho State Capitol, according to the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office. “Confidence in our elections comes from being able to show our work,” McGrane said in a news release. “These audits give us a chance to check the count by hand and let Idahoans see for themselves how we verify the results.” Secretary of State audit teams will hand-count ballots from selected precincts and compare the results with each county’s official canvass. Bannock County’s audit is set for 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at the elections office, 141 N. Sixth Ave. in Pocatello, and is open to the public. “I’ll set up some chairs in front of the counter, and anyone who wants to watch can come,” Bannock County Elections Director Julie Hancock said.
