Recount in Cincinnati PR race could decide ninth council seat
The Enquirer reports a complex recount may overturn the 5 4 Charter majority and switch the ninth seat between Albert C. Jordan and John Held. Jordan, defeated by 111 votes, seeks the recount. Gilligan’s path to the seat is tied to ballot second choices and surpluses under proportional representation. The process could cost $7240 for Jordan and about $25 000 for the city and may influence labor representation and PR support ahead of the 1956 primary.
