Votes to be recounted
WARREN -- Close results for two questions on the November ballot have triggered automatic recounts of ballots by the Trumbull County Board of Elections.
Election-night totals found that both a 1-mill fire levy in Hartford and a local option to sell beer in Bazetta's Precinct A lost by one vote. State law calls for a recount of elections decided by less than 0.5 percent of the vote.
