Recount sought in Carbondale
SCRANTON - The loser of the Republican primary election for a Carbondale Area School Board seat has asked for a recount.
Cindy Artone Turonis, who defeated incumbent school Director Tracey Andrews for the Democratic nomination in Region 3, lost by one vote on the Republican side after the official count broke a tie in the election-night count.
Ms. Turonis and 13 other people asking for the recount allege unspecified errors or fraud in counting the votes.
The request goes before the Lackawanna County Board of Elections on Friday at 9:30 a.m.
