After Recount, George Nardone Is Still The District 28 Winner

COVENTRY, RI — The state Board of Elections has completed recounts for the Nov. 6 election, according to Miguel Nunez. None of the winners and losers changed as a result of the review.

The state had received 14 recount requests but opted to conduct recounts in only six contests: the Coventry Town Council race, the North Kingstown Town Council race, the Smithfield Town Council race, the Scituate School Committee race and the races for District 28 and District 30 seats in the state House of Representatives.

In the Town Council District 4 race, Gary P. Cote's margin of victory increased by one vote over April Campopiano. He had 1,175 votes after the recount, exactly the same number he collected on election night. She ended up with 1,166, one less than she'd been credited with on election night.

In District 28, Republican George Nardone defeated Lucas W. Murray for former Rep. Robert Nardolillo's seat representing Coventry. The recount totals changed election night results by one vote.

In District 30, representing East Greenwich, Justine Caldwell, the Democrat, defeated Anthony Giarusso, the incumbent Republican.

The other recount requests were rejected, including Coventry's local ballot question on the financial town meeting.

Here is how Coventry voted according to the board of election's unofficial results. (The changes due to the recount are not reflected.) Information is from the state Board of Election's website.
