The Nov. 3 general election in Leelanau County is not over yet. Pushing a Nov. 18 deadline, a candidate who lost his race for the District No. 1 seat on the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners by just two votes has asked for a recount even though he announced earlier that he would not seek a recount.

District No. 1 includes the southern portion of Elmwood Township as well as a northwest portion of Traverse City within Leelanau County. *** Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the holiday season.
