There will be a recount in the 2nd Ward City Council race, in which two Democratic candidates are just three votes apart, a Superior Court judge ruled Tuesday. According to the Press of Atlantic City, Atlantic County Board of Elections Chair Lynn Caterson said the recount will take place Friday and consists of paper and machine ballots.
The candidate backed by the municipal Democratic committee, Viana Bailey, was just three votes behind incumbent Democratic Councilwoman LaToya Dunston after all ballots were counted in the June 6th primary.
