Recount results expected today

By John Hilton, Dec 01, 2005

An inspector at Lower Allen Township’s 6th Precinct says a voter must have skipped signing one of the poll books — which led to one more ballot being cast than voters who signed in.



Republican commissioners Richard F. Schin and Peddrick M. Young Sr. tied for one of two open seats on the board with 1,721 votes each. The unofficial tally initially had Schin beating Young by five votes.

Democrat Dan Christ won the other Lower Allen commissioner seat with 1,894 votes.

However, the Schin-Young tie is marred by a discrepancy in the 6th Precinct, where 660 votes were cast, but 659 registered voters signed in.

The Cumberland County Election Board, comprised of county commissioners, ordered a recount of the 6th Precinct that began Wednesday afternoon. The results were to be announced today at an 11 a.m. meeting of commissioners.
