According to the town’s official website, the Fountain Hills Town Council has adopted the next step in election procedure, setting the stage for a recount in a race that is too close to call. Peggy McMahon and Mathew Corrigan are only seven votes apart. The recount follows the council’s mandatory certification of the results of the November 5 election this Wednesday, which is a necessary step before any recount attempts can begin.
According to the Town of Fountain Hills, the actual recount is scheduled to begin on Friday after meeting certain legal requirements. This action follows closely on the heels of Maricopa County’s canvass of election results, which was conducted yesterday. While the town’s recount is in line with a methodical approach to guarantee the election’s integrity, the county’s canvass also serves as an essential prelude to the forthcoming in-depth analysis of the council race ballots.
Given the narrow margin that necessitates a recount, as reported by the Town of Fountain Hills, interest in this contest has unavoidably increased. The tabulation and subsequent adjudication will take place in the days after the start of the recount, and the invigilation that will accompany the process complies with stringent legal requirements intended to preserve transparency and justice.
