Lynn Smith has a whopper of a lead in the race for the Director District 1 position on the Bainbridge Island School Board.

Following the second vote tally Wednesday after the Primary Election on Aug. 4, Smith had 72.1 percent of the vote over fellow candidate Duncan C. Macfarlane.

Macfarlane tallied 25.5 percent.

In the first vote tally on Election Night, Smith had 2,644 votes and Macfarlane, 940.

Smith’s advantage climbed to a 1,902 vote gap Wednesdsay, with Smith holding on to 2,940 votes, and Macfarlane, 1,038.

The nonpartisan office carries a four-year term.

A third candidate, Tatiana Epanchin-Troyan, was on the ballot but pulled out of the race soon after Candidate Filing Week for medical reasons.

Epanchin-Troyan received 78 votes, or 1.9 percent of all ballots cast, in the latest tally.

Not that she wanted them. In her statement in the county voters’ guide, she asked islanders to cast their votes for the other candidates in the race.

Smith, 49, is an instructional designer and training consultant for SAP (Systems, Applications & Products) implementation. She is a longtime volunteer in local schools.

Macfarlane, 50, is an attorney who started the firm of Macfarlane Law in 2007. He was previously a prosecutor in California, and is a producer, engineer and composer who founded Race Horse Studios in 1995.
