KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM) — We finally have the results from last month’s primary after Kalamazoo County Clerk Tim Snow administered four recounts in one day yesterday.
He says he never remembered having a tie before, let alone two ties and one race with just a one vote difference.
Two of the races must have been emotional for those involved. The unofficial vote totals ended in a tie. Drawings were held and winners picked.
The losers demanded recounts and both of the losers are now winners after the recount showed they actually got more votes.
Trish Roberts is Texas Township’s new Treasurer and Bear Priest will be a Richland Township Trustee.
Both Schoolcraft Clerk candidate Virginia Montgreig and Texas Township Trustee candidate Nicholas Loeks had their narrow victories confirmed by the other two recounts.
