DARRINGTON, Wash (AP) — Only six votes are separating the two candidates for mayor in the small mountain town of Darrington in Snohomish County.
KOMO News reports that after 242 votes were counted, incumbent Joyce Jones trailed challenger Dan Rankin after Tuesday’s election.
But in this town, both candidates are politely waiting for the results. Jones says Rankin is a friend of hers and Darrington would be fine with either of them.
The race will be certified Nov. 29. It will go to an automatic recount if the final margin of victory is less than half a percent.
