=====================================================

The Selectman election recount is completed with no change in the outcome.
Original vote:

Board of Selectmen – Three Year Term
1084 Tim Finan – elected
1079 Chris Labonte
82 David Catanzano

Recount vote:
Board of Selectmen – Three Year Term
1084 Tim Finan – elected
1080 Chris Labonte
81 David Catanzano

There was a complication that delayed the completion of the recount. There were originally 2401 ballots cast at the polls with five sheets per ballot for a total of 12005 sheets that were cast. The problem was that only 2398 sheet #1 sheets were found during the recount for a shortage of three sheets of page one of the ballot. The suspicion is that the three missing sheets are mixed in with the remaining 9,604 sheets that were not recounted, but that is only a guess. The suspicion is that one of the missing sheets is a vote for Tim Finan since there was one ballot that was marked in a way that would have not been initially recorded as a vote by the tabulator so he should have gained a vote for that one and his vote total did not change. Also, the suspicion is that one of the missing sheets is a vote for David Catanzano since he lost one on the recount, and the third missing sheet might be a blank vote. It was decided to not look again for the missing three sheets since no matter what they are, they won't change the results of the race.
