After Recount, Dorchester's Ottmann Still On Top For SCC Board


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.
