Just two votes were the final margin of victory in a pair of Fox Valley-area races that were too close to call until Tuesday s deadline for counting the final ballots in the April 6 election.
In Burlington, Mary Kay Wlezen defeated two-term incumbent village president Bob Walsh by a margin of 47 votes to 45.
Walsh said he was disappointed, but accepted the final outcome. When there s that low a count, there s really not much chance for an error, he said.
In St. Charles Unit District 303, Ed McNally, Heidi Fairgrieve and Carolyn Waibel were the top three finishers, with Kate Bell edging out Jim Stombres by two votes, 3,278 to 3,276, for the last board seat.
