Election recount

0

The Town Council recount will take place Thursday at 8 a.m. at Town Hall.

Bruce Gould filed a petition for a recount after losing the election for the second seat on the Nashville Town Council by a single vote.

Rex Watters III finished with 120 votes, Lance Miller 118 and Gould 117.

“We’ll see how it all plays out,” Gould told The Democrat. “It’ll be a learning experience for all of us. It’s just one vote, and if you think about it, the machines have an accuracy rate of 99 percent which means there’s a 1 percent error.”

In the court hearing on Dec. 6, County Judge Mary Wertz appointed Theresa Cobian, Republican representative, Victor Bongard, Democrat Representative and Janet Buchannan with the RBM consulting voting system as the recount committee. The recount will be done by hand.

Pearletta Banks, County Clerk said her role is to observe and upload the result to the voter registration system for the state once results are in.
