Western District Buchanan County Commissioner Ron Hook
actually picked up a couple of votes in a recount from Election Day, winning
re-election in a tight race over challenger Everett Goddard, Jr.

The recount conducted by the Buchanan County Clerk’s office,
overseen by the two candidates and nonpartisan observers, found Hook, a
Democrat, received 7,869 votes to 7,844 for Goddard, a
Republican. That is a 25-vote difference.

At the end of election night, Hook had won re-election by 23
votes.

The clerk’s office ran the ballots through the vote-counting
machines a second time during the recount.
