Update: Incumbent Walker won by 104 votes in a Friday afternoon recount.

CRESTVIEW — Incumbent Rodney Walker holds a slightly larger lead over Joe Slusser after Saturday’s recount in the Okaloosa County District 3 School Board race.

Walker’s lead is still less than 0.25 percent, but all recount options have been exhausted, Supervisor of Elections Paul Lux said.

Following 10 hours of work by 25 people, 17 votes were added to Walker’s total and nine votes were added for Slusser. That left a 0.2 percent margin, Lux said.

The second unofficial results show Walker with 26,878 votes and Slusser with 26,769 — a difference of 109 votes.

Official results will be announced after the Canvassing Board counts the 10-day overseas absentee ballots Nov. 14.
