The Franklin County Board of Elections recertified vote totals Thursday in two close races that were subject to recounts earlier this month. The final outcomes — Republican incumbent state Sen. Stephanie Kunze winning reelection over Democratic challenger Crystal Lett and the passage of a Gahanna-Jefferson school district bond and tax issue — did not change from the county's earlier certification, but the vote totals changed slightly. The margins in both races fell within one-half of 1% of total votes cast, triggering required recounts. The process included a partial hand recount of ballots from randomly selected precincts, followed by machine recounts of all ballots cast.
