Florence mayoral recount set for Monday
Florence County Elections officials will once again tabulate the votes from last week’s Democratic Mayoral primary to see who will be Florence’s new leader. Almost a week ago, voters cast their ballots for mayor in the city of Florence. Once the votes were counted, challenger Steven Wukela was holding a one vote lead over incumbent Mayor Frank Willis.
Last Thursday, the Florence County Board of Elections went through the challenged, provisional, and absentee ballots with each candidate collecting one additional vote leaving Wukela up by one.
The official recount of the votes is scheduled for Monday at 9 a.m. Count on News 13, the Morning News, and scnow.com for complete coverage of today’s recount.

Everyone had the opportunity to vote..Just because you do not like the outcome you cannot have another election. The people that really cared about Florence got out and voted..they have spoken..so let’s move forward.
First of all, shame on you Florence for the weak voter turn-out! My second thought is a question. Could there be a write in campaign in November. My thoughts turned to Liberman who lost and then ran as an independent to retain his seat???
Instead of a recount - let’s re-vote being that roughly 3,000 people voted. Does anyone know what percentage of the total voting population that is within the city?
