Man oh man… as we saw in the Pasco City Council Primary, just one vote can make the difference.

Pasco Councilwoman Rebecca Francik and challenger Shane Thorson will face off in the Nov. 6 general election, a hand recount determined Monday.

The recount was forced when the initial vote count showed Thorson led Webster Jackson by a single vote in last month’s primary election.

The hand recount affirmed that margin as the vote totals stayed exactly the same: 614 for Francik, 266 for Thorson and 265 for Jackson.

And now [via The Other Side Online] we have another one…

A hand recount of ballots Wednesday morning by the Yakima County Auditor’s Office showed that challengers Jim Lemon and Dan Olson, both city councilmen, will vie for the mayor’s job in the Nov. 6 general election.

Olson and Lemon collected 274 and 270 votes, respectively, in the Aug. 21 primary, while Reeves came in third with 269 votes. The vote totals did not change in Wednesday’s recount.

Gotta love it. I mean… one freaking vote, no matter how many were cast, is amazing.

Congrats to those who advanced.
