MARSHFIELD, WI (WSAU) — A recount in a very close election for Marshfield city council is complete
In the race for the District 10 council seat, Andrew Reigel defeated Bonnie Andres by just two votes, leading Andres to file for a re-count. The results of 257 to 255 were confirmed on Thursday.
The counters took several hours to count each ballot by hand, all to make sure that the air-tight race was fair and accurate. Chief Election Inspector Chelsea Willis said, “This is just an opportunity to help the public see that we get accurate results when we do these elections, and that it’s a very transparent process.”
Schiferl says that she expects no further recounts, and Alderman-Elect Reigel to be sworn in.
