DEADWOOD (AP) - It's official. Deadwood Mayor Chuck Turbiville has retained his position by a single vote.
Turbiville squared off against former city commissioner Georgeann Silvernail in the April 12 municipal election. Unofficial election results had Turbiville winning the race for his second three-year term by a vote of 165 to 164.
Silvernail requested a recount, which is allowable under state law.
The Rapid City Journal reports that a three-member recount board confirmed the tally on Wednesday.
