Saturday, December 19, 2009
Nevada, Mo. -- Presiding Judge James Bickel wasted no time Friday morning declaring a recount in the Nov. 3 election for a seat on the Nevada City Council shortly after the 9 a.m. start of court. The recount was triggered by the small margin of votes between Joe Kraft and Sherry Steward, who was ahead by only two votes, 413 to 411.
