Contact: Lisa De La Rionda, 561-662-7534

The Palm Beach County Canvassing Board announces the final results of a second recount of ballots cast in the August 26, 2008 Primary election for the Palm Beach County 15th Judicial Circuit Court Judge Group 23 race.

William S. “Bill” Abramson:  45,531           
Richard I. Wennet: 45,470

The Canvassing Board officially certified the Palm Beach County results shortly after 7 p.m. They must still be certified by the state. The court-ordered recount of ballots began at the Tabulation Center Friday morning and was completed Tuesday evening.

“This is a very complicated and hard process,” said Canvassing Board Chairman County Judge Peter Evans. “The results, I believe, were as accurate as humanly possible.”
