Lathrop comes out ahead in recount

Steve Lathrop was confirmed Wednesday as the victor in the southwest Omaha Legislative District following a complete recount of the votes cast in the Nov. 7 election.

Following the recount by the Douglas County Election Commission, the margin was 14 votes for Lathrop over Jean Stothert. The final count after the election put Lathrop ahead by 15 votes, close enough to trigger an automatic recount.

The final totals being sent to the State Board of Canvassers, which will certify election results on Monday, was 5,073 for Lathrop and 5,059 for Stothert. Lathrop gained one vote and Stothert two as a result of the recount of all ballots cast.

Stothert has until Dec. 15 to file an official protest.
