A Norfolk City Council election is headed for a recount
After nearly two weeks of vote tallying, Norfolk School Board member Carlos Clanton declared victory late Friday in the race for the 7th Superward City Council seat.
But Clanton leads opponent Phillip Hawkins by just 92 votes - less than a quarter of a percent of the vote total in the five-way race.
Hawkins posted on social media that he’ll start the process to request a recount Monday.
“Every single vote matters, and it’s essential that we ensure each vote is accurately counted and that the full legal process is honored,” he wrote.
