Recount doesn't change Election Night outcome in Sioux Falls race
Board spent more than a day on ballot review that started Wednesday
A recount board Thursday declared that District 15 House candidate Erik Muckey was one of two winners in this month’s election following a lengthy recount that started Wednesday morning.
Muckey prevailed 4,365 over Joni Tschetter, who the board determined had 4,356 votes. The nine-vote margin was two more than the tally from Election Day.
Muckey will join fellow Democrat Kadyn Wittman in representing the central Sioux Falls district in the House. Fellow Democrat Jamie Smith will represent the district in the Senate.
