    With nearly 90% of precincts reporting unofficial results Tuesday night, Melissa Agard secured a four-year term to continue as Dane County’s top administrator. Agard defeated challenger Stephen Ratzlaff, a DeForest salesman, about five months after winning a more competitive special election for the same job. About 80% of the county’s voters Tuesday had cast ballots for Agard while Ratzlaff gained 20% of the vote. The margin exceeded Agard’s previous 23-point victory in November.
