A recount confirmed that Lois Bahle, the Democrat candidate for the District no. 3 county commissioner seat in the Nov. 5 general elections, fell behind the Republican candidate, Will Bunek, by just six votes, with Bahle at 1,319 votes and Bunek at 1,325 votes.
Bahle successfully petitioned for a recount of the votes, which was carried out at the government center Nov. 26. After completing the recount, the board of canvassers confirmed that the numbers in the official results certified Nov. 16 were entirely accurate.
There were no changes across all precincts voting for District No. 3 commissioner, which includes Suttons Bay Township and a portion of Bingham Township, plus the absent voter counting boards and early voting at the government center from Oct. 26 to Nov. 3.
