Madison Goes Florida: Delzer Calls for Recount!

Scott Delzer, who missed out on a seat on the Madison City Commission by one vote April 8, has called for a recount. Hooray for electoral fun! Delzer and winners Dick Ericsson and Monica Campbell each get to send one representative to constitute a recount board, which will meet this Saturday at the city commission room to go through the ballots. (Curious -- why doesn't fourth-place Kelli Brown get to be part of the show?). KJAM reports that the recount board can choose to set a date to run the ballots through the counting machine again, but I say nuts to that. if I had lost by one vote, I would want to put my hands and eyes on every ballot. The machine had its chance and came up with 507-506 the first time. Let's recount by a different method: put the eyeballs to it and get it done Saturday.

    The two winners, and anyone who close enough to ask for a recount get to choose one person. Brown could not have asked for a recount so she is not included.

    In a visual recount, is a ballot that has markings outside the circle considered spoiled or do they consider the "intent" of the voter when marking their ballots?

    The three person board is more or less a jury, they can do (almost) what ever they want. All they need is a two to one vote on any issue.
