Riverside City Council recounts head into third day

The recount of ballots in the Riverside City Council Ward 1 and Ward 7 races will continue into Wednesday.

In Ward 7, the ballots cast electronically have been counted, and the count of absentee ballots has just begun.

Heading into the Ward 7 recount, incumbent Steve Adams led challenger Terry Frizzel by 13 votes. Each picked up one additional vote in the counting Tuesday before the temporary vote counters were sent home for the day.

In the Ward 1 race, challenger Mike Gardner led incumbent Dom Betro by seven votes heading into the recount.

So there's still a tiny amount of hope left that Steve Adams will no longer represent Ward 7 on the Riverside city council.

Please, next time there is an election, get out there and vote. Even if you don't care about the election, find a friend like me and support the causes they care about. If you're not willing to find out about them for yourself, you can still make your vote count. Trust me, my friends, neighbors, co-workers, anyone with the right to vote...your votes can count for something & they could have helped take Steve Adams out of the Riverside City Council. Please.
