RELATED: 2 vote margin in Wayne Local school issue
“We’re not going to feel 100 percent relaxed or confident until it’s been officially certified,” Superintendent Patt Dubbs said. “We’re ahead. That’s a good thing.”
On Wednesday, the Greene County Board of Elections is expected to certify the results on the Wayne Local issue in its portion of the district.
Greene County is also expected to recount, although there are fewer votes at issue.
Election night tallies were 1,226 to 1,225 in Warren County, 11 to 10 in the small piece of the district in Green County- leaving only a two-vote margin.
Tuesday’s final count widens the margin, with only a relatively small number of votes to be counted in Greene County.
