Supervisor Election Recount Begins Today
- Share via
A recount of votes in the Board of Supervisors race in the March 2 election will start today and will take at least a week, according to Registrar of Voters Mischelle Townsend.
The recount was requested by candidate Linda Soubirous, who lost the chance for a runoff with incumbent Bob Buster by less than one-tenth of a percentage point.
In the three-way race for the county’s 1st District seat, Buster received 50.09% of the 49,175 votes cast; Soubirous got 34.51%, and former Lake Elsinore councilman Kevin Pape got 15.4%. Had Buster not received more than half of the vote, he and Soubirous would have faced off in a November runoff election.
