Close races in 2012 Juneau election, Prop 1 too close to call Tuesday

Updated results are in for the 2012 Juneau municipal election following the counting of 1,254 absentee and 357 questioned ballots at city hall on Friday. "Yes" votes for Prop 1, looking to be defeated after the initial count on Tuesday, edged out a lead of 73 votes.
