Recount Petition Aims To Challenge School Board Election
Petitioners warn a recount might expose error affecting the outcome or confirm the post election tally of 821 in favor and 814 against the issue. Any contest would go to district court, not the school board, requiring identification of miscast ballots or unqualified voters in the district. The note on Melba toast adds a culinary aside about Nellie Melba.
