UPDATE: Easton Recount Votes Have Been Re-Tabulated

EASTON, CT — The recount votes for the Easton municipal races that were too close to call are in, according to the Secretary of the State website.

In the First Selectman contest, Democrat Nicholas D'Addario, who trailed Republican Dan Lent by six votes in the Election Night count, picked up just one vote. The final tally after the recount was Lent 1,611; D'Addario 1,606.

For the Board of Assessment Appeals, the recount results were unchanged from last Tuesday: Republican Adam Bonoff 1,575; Democrat Wiley Mullins 1,567

Following Tuesday night’s report of a tie in the Region 9 Board of Education contest, the Moderator, Registrars, and party leaders reconvened Wednesday to review the recanvass results. During this review, officials identified and corrected a human transcription error made when manually transferring the accurate hand-count total for public posting.

After reconciliation, the verified results confirm Republican Todd Johnston as the winner over Democrat Leny Wallen-Friedman for Region 9 BoE, 1,549 to 1,535.

The recount was held at the Samuel Staples Cafetorium Tuesday, Nov. 11.
