Rebecca Arnoldâs bid to keep her seat on the Ada County Highway District commission may now be over after a judge dismissed her appeal of the results of a recount vote.
Arnold lost the ACHD seat sheâs held for four terms to opponent and political newcomer Alexis Pickering by two votes, according to an election night tally, and by four votes after a recount.
Arnold, a Boise lawyer, had sued her opponent as well as two Ada County officials, alleging that votes were not counted properly according to state law and asking for a second recount done by hand. She also asked that some votes be thrown out.
