No recount requested in Wood County, Rhodes said

No one has requested a recount of the May 10 primary election returns in Wood County, County Clerk Mark Rhodes said this morning.

The deadline to request the recount passed Wednesday afternoon, Rhodes, the county’s chief elections officer, said.

Certification of the returns, which were canvassed on Monday, is on the agenda for today’s county commission meeting.

Two races were separate by less than a dozen votes as a result of the canvass.

Incumbent Debbie Hendershot won by five votes over Jeff Fox for the Board of Education.

In the new House of Delegates District 11, Bob Fehrenbacher, a first-time candidate, by 10 votes defeated Delegate Roger Conley, incumbent from the old 10th Delegate District, for the Republican nomination to run in the November general election.
