Kenneth City Town Council race may head to recount; just 5 votes separate the top 3 finishers

by The 100 Companies

Recent controversies in Kenneth City over a rash of staff departures played out in Tuesday’s election, with a recount likely on the way in a razor-thin race for two seats on the Town Council.

With four candidates on the ballot, the top two finishers are tied at 29.16% of the vote, or 235 votes each, according to unofficial election results.

The difference between the No. 2 and No. 3 finishers is just five votes, or 0.62 percentage points. A recount is triggered when vote totals are within a half-percentage point.

Incumbents Kyle Cummings and Barbara Roberts lead challenger Tony Chan.
