COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Branch County Clerk Terry Kubasiak says two recounts of results from the November 7, 2017 election have been scheduled for next Monday.
The Branch County Board of Canvassers will meet next Monday morning to conduct a recount of the 4th Ward Coldwater City Council race in which Scott Houtz defeated Dan Corwin 143-140.
Corwin not only demanded a recount of that race but he also sought a recount next Monday afternoon of the results from Girard Township in the Coldwater Community School District millage and bonding proposal.
Kubasiak says Corwin asked for the recounts because the new voting machines did not count all of the ballots.
Girard Township voters barely approved the school question 155-153. Coldwater school district voters passed the question 1,867 to 1,747.
