The fallout from the Athens fertilizer fire has me running a little behind on this issue, but the recount in the Aubrey Jones – Charles Elliott race for the Place 2 City Council seat took place last week as expected.
The recount did not change the outcome of the election, Charles Elliott still won, although it did change the vote slightly.
The final totals in the race after the recount were Charles Elliott 624 and Aubrey Jones 614.
It is expected that Mr. Elliott will take his seat at the next City Council meeting.
