Recount in Santee City Council race upholds results [The San Diego Union-Tribune]
San Diego County Democrats have conceded the Santee City Council election in District 4.
The group last week had asked for a recount of the votes from the Nov. 3 election, which was certified on Dec. 3 by the San Diego County Registrar of Voters.
The November results declared Republican Dustin Trotter, a carpenter and business owner, the winner with 3,920 votes. Trotter had five more votes than opponent Samm Hurst, a Democrat and public health scientist/college instructor, with 3,915.
Monday’s all-day recount of four of the five precincts in District 4, the area near Santee Lakes and Mission Trails Regional Park, tallied one extra vote for Trotter, and one for Hurst.
