Print article The Anchorage municipal clerk’s office will recount the election results for school board seat E on Tuesday, according to a notice from the clerk’s office. Official election results certified last week have Pat Higgins winning the race for school board seat E with 32.92% of the vote, ahead of opponent Sami Graham, with just a 0.57% margin, or 369 votes. Graham has 32.35% of the vote. Higgins’ lead is over the 0.5% or less margin that, according to municipal code, requires an automatic recount. Still, the clerk’s office in its notice said that Municipal Clerk Barbara Jones is taking the initiative to conduct a recount because “in the Clerk’s judgement, conducting a recount may increase voter confidence in the election process.”
