The recount of the votes for Common Council did not change the election outcome, but it did alter the number of votes received by almost all of the candidates. The recount was mandated because of a 14 vote difference between Kleckowski and Bauer. In the recount, Kleckowski went from a 14 vote advantage to a 15 vote advantage, but this was because she was credited with 4 fewer votes while Bauer was credited with 5 fewer.
In the recount, two Republicans traded places in getting the most votes. Salafia originally recorded 6 more votes than Bibisi, but in the recount Bibisi got 1 more vote than Salafia.
Most of the changes in vote counts were in the largest voting districts, district 3 (MHS), district 10 (South Fire), and district 11 (Bielefield).

A quick review of the differences in the counts between election-nite results and the recount indicates that those counting appear to have serious difficulties with 4-digit numbers; only the 3-digit results did not change. ;-)
