The slate of candidates for the Nov. 6 general election is final, after the St. Thomas/St. John Board of Elections completed a recount of paper ballots from the Democratic primary in that district Friday evening and found the results unchanged.
The recount was requested by Jean Force, who finished eighth in the primary for Demopcratic candidates for the Senate, trailing seventh-place finisher Justin Harrigan Sr. by a mere five votes. The top seven finishers go onto the ballot for the seven district seats in the Legislature.
"The vote was exactly what we said it was the first time," said board member Lawrence Boschulte, when reached Friday evening by phone.
The recount found Harrigan received 1,480 votes to Forde’s 1,475, Boschulte said. Boschulte opposed the recount as an unnecessary expense.
Going into the general election, the seven Democratic nominees for senator from the St. Thomas/St. John district are Harrigan, Clifford Graham, Shawn-Michael Malone, Myron D. Jackson, Clarence Payne, Janette Millin Young and Donald Cole.
The three Democratic nominees for the board of election from the St. Thomas/St. John district are Arturo Watlington, Yvonne Solomon Freeman and Edwardo Carmona, Sr.
The four Democratic nominees for the board of education from the St. Thomas/St. John district are Judy M. Gomez, Debra Smith-Watlington, Keith E. Richards and Arah C. Lockhart.
