A committee of three individuals conducted a recount Monday afternoon of the ballots in Wards 4 and 5 and the Absentee votes, at the request of District 3 Supervisor candidate Dana Halder. Auditor Dale Sunderman reports the results changed very little, with Halder gaining one vote and Hartkopf losing one.

Hartkopf was the unofficial winner pending a canvass of the recount results by the Cass County Board of Supervisors tomorrow (Wed., June 20th), during the Cass County Board of Supervisors meeting. (Only Republican candidates ran during the Primary.)

The recount results from Monday, June 18th are as follows:

Dana Duane Halder – 158 votes          following the June 12 canvass:       157

John Hartkopf       – 160 votes                                                                 161

Linda Templeman   – 103 votes                                                                   103

Halder has stated he intends to run for the District 3 Supervisor’s seat again, in November, possibly as a non-partisan/Independent candidate.
