FL: Uncounted votes exceed margins in Naples Mayor race as Collier Co. officials schedule a recount
Teresa Heitmann (R) leads Gary Price (R) by 12 votes. There are 23 ballots that may yet be counted.
The number of still-uncounted ballots in a race for Naples Mayor exceeds the margin between the top candidates there. Meanwhile, officials are preparing for a complete recount Saturday for the results of the mayoral contest and a City Council race that’s also too close to call.
Results released on Election Night show Naples Mayor Teresa Heitmann leading challenger Gary Price by 12 votes.
The Collier County Supervisor of Elections Office confirmed they have 23 ballots from Naples voters that remain in question and uncounted. Beyond that, as many as nine more ballots could still come in from registered voters currently located overseas.
The county has counted 8,546 votes already in the Mayor race. But Trish Robertson, the public information officer for the Elections Office, broke down the number of still outstanding votes.
