The Associated Press tells us that a recount has not
changed the overall result of the election for at-large seat on the Southeast
Community College Board of Governors.
According to the State Board of Canvassers, challenger
Steve Ottmann of Dorchester beat incumbent Jim Garver of Lincoln. The recount
showed a victory margin of 401 votes out of more than 126,000 total votes.
The original difference was less than 1 percent of
Ottmann’s total, which required a recount of all the votes unless the candidate
in second place declined. Votes were recounted in all 15 counties of the college
district’s territory in eastern Nebraska.
Go, Steve, Go! Congrats on a nicely run race.
