An automatic recount in Hamilton County
The 13 votes that separated Maria Ferro and Kathy Wiethe Lippert in the May 2 election means Hamilton County will have an automatic recount.
The two women are vying for the nomination to the State Central Committee seat for the Democratic woman in the 7th District, a jurisdiction that includes parts of Hamilton and Warren counties.
Ferro won Hamilton County by 32 votes (3,059-3,027) but Wiethe took Warren County by 45 votes (2,065-2,020) to cause the automatic recount.
Recounts are automatic when the margin of victory is one-half of one percent of the vote.
The totals -- Lippert won 5,092-5,079 -- show a difference of 13 votes, or .12 percent of the vote.
The recount can't be done by law until five days after the election is certified. That certification was done Wednesday by the Hamilton County Board of Elections. The recount is set for Tuesday, said board Director John Williams.
Wiethe is the daughter of former longtime Hamilton County Democratic Party chairman John "Socko" Wiethe.

Post a Comment*With the way Burke treated Kathy Wiethe Lippert and the party in general, it would be a hoot if Kathy won the recount ?
Did you know her daddy handed Burke the chairmanship and, yet, he not only endorsed the opponent but also assisted to defeat Lippert !
I heard Portune did robo calls against Lippert ?
I don't know the inside tract, but, on surface it seems like a Hackett job ?

You better hope that Lippert wins Dems. The Ferros are up to no good...
