Blacksburg Mayoral candidate considers recount, trailing by 18 votes
BLACKSBURG, Va. (WDBJ) - Final ballots for the Blacksburg Mayoral Race were certified on Friday by Montgomery County’s Electoral Board, but things might not be over quite yet.
Michael Sutphin is the official winner, but challenger Peter Macedo behind by just 18 votes told WDBJ7 he’s considering a recount.
Since Macedo is behind by just 0.16% of the votes, the state would pay for a recount if it happens.
Macedo has 10 days to decide if he’s going to call for a recount.
