AUGUSTA (AP) — State election officials will conduct the final recount of ballots from the Nov. 6 election.
Officials on Monday were holding a recount in the Piscataquis County commissioner's race between Democrat Donald Crossman and Republican Frederick Trask. Trask was 10 votes ahead of Crossman on Election Day.
A recount had also been scheduled Monday afternoon in the House District 51 race between Democrat Michael Devin and Republican Alan Pinkham, but Pinkham withdrew his request for a recount.
Devin was 91 votes ahead of Pinkham on Election Day. District 51 covers Bristol, Damariscotta, Edgecomb, Newcastle, South Bristol and Monhegan Plantation.
