Recount in Second District Narrows Defeated Nelson Lead

John H Nelson requested a recount after Nesto Erickson’s three vote margin disappeared when ballots marked for him with extra identifying marks were rejected. The recount produced 92 for Nelson and 84 for Erickson, narrowing the pre recount result of 92 to 87.

The note ends with a whispered aside about three men passing.
