12/03/2008: "Orcas Recount Finds No Errors"

The San Juan County Elections Office accepted an application for a manual recount in the San Juan County District 4 County Council race. The request was submitted by Mindy Kayl, who lost to Richard Fralick in that race. In the final count of the 1,921 ballots cast, Fralick received 947 votes, Kayl received 827 votes, and there were 12 write-in votes and 136 undervotes.

The recount was completed December 4, and the results were found to be the same as the original count. Because the vote was not close enough to trigger a mandatory recount, Kayl will be required to pay for the cost of the re-count.
