Recount determines second council member
MOTLEY - If only the recount for Sen. Norm Coleman and Al Franken were as easy as the Motley City Council recount.
Duane Solga's second-place finish for one of two spots on the Motley City Council was confirmed Friday after a recount in that race.
Motley City Clerk-Treasurer Terri Smith said that after the recount Solga's eight-point margin over third-place finisher Bruce Mills was determined to be a 10-point lead. The final totals were Rena Underhill, 154; Duane Solga, 128; and Bruce Mills, 118. Underhill and Solga will serve on the council.
The recount involving Coleman and Franken requires double-checking 2.9 million votes and is expected to involve legal challenges.
