Recount yields no significant change for Sigourney school board election

A recount of the results of the Sigourney CSD At-Large Director election was requested by Mike Bensmiller, a candidate for the one of three seats in the election. With Cody Branstad declared the winner of the election over Bensmiller, both candidates were allowed to nominate a person to perform the recount. Bensmiller chose Ron Waechter and Branstad his wife Chelsead. The two candidates came together to chose Pat Milletich for an unbiased opinion.

The results of the recount were canvassed on Friday, Sept. 22 by the Keokuk County Board of Supervisors. According to Auditor's office, the recount included ballots where "a write-in vote duplcates an otherwise correctly cast votee for a candidate whose name appear on the ballot, the write-in vote shall be counted." The canvass found no change in winners during the recount.
