Incumbent wins Bucksport school board race in runoff election
He won the seat in a runoff election Tuesday with 124 votes to 74 for his opponent, Emily Fitzgerald.
The result brings an end to a race full of rare twists and turns that has taken nearly two months to resolve.
Initial election results in November showed Fitzgerald had won the seat. Kneeland said he was told earlier in the day he’d won until the town realized absentee votes hadn’t been counted.
Kneeland then requested a recount, which found they had tied, an apparently unprecedented result for the town. The runoff election was called that month and absentee voting began in December.
