Ben Fenton, a village trustee in Fleischmanns, emailed yesterday to report that yesterday's mayoral election in Fleischmanns isn't quite over. Apparently Fred Woller, the village trustee who challenged incumbent mayor Dave Morrell and lost, had demanded a recount.
Fenton reported that the Village Clerk sent out the following email yesterday afternoon:
"Please be advised that Village Trustee Fred Woller has requested a recanvass of the votes taken at the March 15, 2011 General Village Election. According to law his request was forwarded to the Delaware County Board of Elections. The Delaware County Board of Elections will be here at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning to do a re-count of the votes and they have requested that the candidates be present."
As the vote stands now, Morrell beat Woller 37 to 33.
