No Election Recount In East Lansing

A recount of an East Lansing School Board Race will not happen Monday. The candidate who initially called for the recount withdrew his request. 

Noel Garcia called for a recount after losing by less than 40 votes in the November 6 election. 

 

Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum had ordered equipment and requested workers to begin the process in Mason on December 10.

 

However, on December 6, Byrum notified the media that Garcia withdrew his petition for a recount. 

 

Byrum said the $1600 cost of preparation for the possible recount will be paid by the East Lansing School District.
