The requested recount was heard in court yesterday for the Adair County Sheriff race. Judge Frederick Tucker presiding.
Candidates Jason Lene and Jason Underwood and Adair County Clerk Sandy were summoned to attend the hearing.
Jason Underwood asked for a special election but was denied.
Underwood’s attorney Patrick Nolan said they had concern about the absentee ballots how they were gathered and stored.
The judge said he did not feel there was enough evidence presented to substantiate that claim.
A full recount was decided and it would consist of two Republicans and two Democrats in a manual recount.
