Recount set for Marshall County Commissioner's seat

Posted: Updated:
Marshall County -

The date and time has been set for the recount in the contested Marshall County Commission race.  

The recount is scheduled for 1 p.m. next Tuesday, Nov. 27.  

According to Marshall County Clerk Jan Pest, the candidates, County Commissioners and representatives from her office will all be present. 

Human error on election night showed Jake Padlow the initial winner for the Commissioner's seat, but once the County Clerk's office realized the mistake, a canvass was held that determined Bob Miller Jr. the winner by just 70 votes. 

Pest says although the situation is unfortunate, she's positive a recount will return the same results.
