Muncie Mayoral recount favors GOP

WTHR-TV is reporting the mayoral recount is complete and Sharon McShurley (R) has emerged victorious by 13 votes.

It turns out a precinct of absentee votes in favor of the Democrat, votes for Jim Mansfield (D) were disallowed because the ballot envelopes were not signed as required by law. This swung the pendulum to Ms. McShurley and continues a tradition of GOP mayoral leadership in Muncie since 1987.
