No recount in Newton Falls mayor's race

WARREN

Though the margin of difference in the Nov. 4 Newton Falls special election was small, it appears it was not small enough to prevent Lyle A. Waddell from

being sworn in as mayor this Wednesday.

The vote total was 526 for the recall of Mayor Pat Layshock and 500 against it.

That difference apparently won’t be small enough to trigger an automatic recount of the ballots, even if 16 provisional ballots still to be counted all went against recall.

Jodi Fiorenzo Dibble, deputy director of the Trumbull County Board of Elections, said the provisional ballots will be counted Monday or Tuesday, and the results of the election will be certified at an elections board meeting Tuesday.
