Recount Does Not Change Result Of Wasco County D.A. Election

A recount of the vote for Wasco County District Attorney found absolutely no change from the initial ballot count in the May 21 election.  County Clerk Lisa Gambee said 70 boxes totaling 6,795 ballots were hand counted over the last two days.  When they were done, Kara Davis still had 3,166 votes and Travis Marston 3,106.  Gambee said observers for both candidates were present for the process.  Marston had requested the recount, and his campaign will be paying for the cost of it.  The May 21 result did not have the one-half of one percent margin necessary for an automatic recount.  Davis will take the position in January from current D.A. Matthew Ellis, who was unopposed in May for the same job in Hood River County.
