The
September 8 mayoral primary results between the 2nd and 3rd
place finishers triggered an automatic recount, which was completed today by
the elections board. The recount confirmed that Brownlee defeated
Mitchell 380-378. All 16 precincts in Maple Heights were rescanned, and 2
precincts were hand counted as part of the automatic recount process.
“The
recount results confirmed our post-election certification with 100% accuracy,”
said chief elections official Pat McDonald in a statement released today.
