No Decision on Recount in Witt Mayor's Race

So you’re thinking two candidates for Mayor of Witt are tied at 75 votes apiece, well what have you got to lose, just call Montgomery County Clerk and Recorder Sandy Leithieser and ask for a recount. Well, it’s not that easy. Candidates have to pay for a recount and only one of Witt’s two precincts could be recounted. So far, we’ve heard from Timothy Taylor, who tells us he is undecided on pursuing a recount. There's no word from the other tied candidate, Shawn Cady. If there is no recount or a recount doesn’t change the vote totals, the two candidates will face off in a lottery late this month.
