Recount gives incumbent Mahoning Commissioner election win

The official results in the race for Mahoning County Commissioner show incumbent Democrat Carol Rimedio-Righetti beating Republican Challenger Geno DiFabio by 130 votes.

Since the margin of victory was within one-half-of-one percent, an automatic recount was mandated, the results of which were released on Tuesday.

That tedious process began Wednesday which included a hand recount and running the 85,000 ballots through the counting machines again.
