Northfield, Macedonia mayoral election results stand
The November election results for the Northfield and Macedonia mayoral elections did not change with recounts performed Friday morning by the Summit County Board of Elections.The hand-counted ballots matched the machine results exactly, said board Director Ron Koehler. Northfield Mayor Victor Milani and Sylvia Hanneken, a Macedonia mayoral candidate, requested the paid recounts. Milani lost to challenger Jesse Nehez, a Northfield councilman, by about 100 votes in the Nov. 8 election, while Hanneken was defeated by two-term Mayor Donald Kuchta by about 50 votes, according to official election results. The recounts cost $55 per precinct. Milani asked for a recount of the entire village, while Hanneken requested a recount of just Precinct B. Koehler said the board now is working on automatic recounts of the Akron school levy, Norton council at-large and Stow school board. He hopes to have those completed by the end of the day.
