Nearby: Madison, NEMADISON — A total of 12,330 ballots were cast in Madison County in Nebraska’s 2026 general election. That number equates to 58.2% of registered voters in the county, which nearly aligned with the Nebraska Secretary of State Office’s report of 59% voter turnout across the state. Anne Pruss, Madison County clerk and election commissioner, had initially anticipated a turnout in the county of roughly 45%-47%. This year’s general election voter turnout also topped Madison County’s 54.3% turnout in the 2022 midterms. “I am ecstatic on this because people did get out to vote,” Pruss said. “And it goes to show for voters that if you do not like what people are doing for you, the only way you can resolve this is by voting or expressing your concerns.” More than 9,400 Madison County residents voted on Election Day. The clerk’s office had sent out around 2,900 mail-in ballots, and 2,863 were returned.

Nearby: Wolbach, NEAfter a three-year hiatus, the Falls City Sacred Heart football team returned to the fold, playing in the NSAA Football Playoffs for the 40th time. The Irish played Central Valley on Friday in Wolbach. Central Valley was formed in 2014 with the consolidation of North Loup-Scotia and Greeley- Wolbach. The Irish have faced Wolbach only once, in the 1976 playoffs. Fifty years ago, with time disappearing off the clock, Sacred Heart scored the seemingly go-ahead touchdown. However, the officials threw an aiding the runner penalty on the Irish, wiping out the score and sending two busloads of Irish fans home with a disappointing loss. Times and names have changed, but unfortunately the outcome has remained the same. The Cougars proved to be the superior team on Friday, beating the Irish 44-8. It didn’t take the Cougars long to assert themselves; one play, in fact.
