The recount in the Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School Board 2020 election begins in earnest today. The Delaware Township election results show Sarah Donsbach winning that school board seat by 20 votes, about one-half of one percent (0.05 percent) of all votes cast.
This was an at-large election, with all voters in Delaware, Fall Creek and Wayne townships casting ballots in the race. That means the recount will encompass all precincts in all three townships.
Hamilton County Clerk Kathy Williams says the recount will begin at 8 a.m. Absentee ballots will be tallied first.
The Recount Commission met Tuesday afternoon, setting the procedures for the vote recount.
It is expected the recount should be completed in a matter of days.
