The Fulton County elections department completed a recount of the votes cast in last week’s Roswell mayoral runoff.
David Tolleson, who finished second to incumbent Jere Wood in the runoff, had the right to demand a recount because he lost by only 77 votes, which is less than the 1 percent threshold. Tolleson did just that on Tuesday, saying that his supporters wanted him to go through with the exercise.
The Department of Registration & Elections completed recounts in the election for mayor of Roswell on Thursday. They reported no change in the vote totals. The final outcome is 4,524 votes for candidate David Tolleson, and 4,603 for candidate Jere Wood.
Wood said Tolleson informed him on Monday night that he was requesting a recount. “I told him, ‘Thank you -- now I get to win twice,’ “ Wood said.
