Republican, Democrat Tied in Seville Council Race After Official Count

James Lovejoy, a Democrat, and Leslie Miller, a Republican, were tied after the official count in their race for Seville, Ohio Village Council. Each of them has 291 votes. There will now be a recount by hand, and if they are still tied after the hand recount, a coin flip will determine the winner.

Lovejoy ran a very aggressive campaign for Village Council while Miller, an incumbent council member, was not nearly as visible. There were three people running to fill two spots on the Council.

This is the only race in the county in which a recount will be conducted. You can read the story about it in the Medina County Gazette.
