Commissioner

The pivotal Rob Handy v. Bobby Green race for Lane County Commissioner has tightened and remains too close to call.

At 7 pm with about three-fourths of the vote counted, Handy holds on to a lead of just 113 votes, 0.44 percent. Earlier returns had showed Handy with a lead of up to 2 percent.

State law triggers an automatic recount if the margin is less that 0.2 percent.

Lane County Elections will release it’s next results, what appears likely to be a near complete vote count, at 10 am Thursday.
