Nestor Abandons Appeal in Mercer BOE Race
Incumbent Jack Nestor said he will not appeal the Mercer County canvass board result in the May 14 board of education contest. Nestor lost to Robert Walthall by 25 votes, with Harold Tomchin winning the other seat. He cited time and money, noting it would cost about 4 000 dollars to pursue the case and that obtaining affidavits and summoning 47 voters would be required. Nestor criticized election issues and urged better training and organization of election officials in Mercer County.
