Hand count confirms narrow Pyle victory

June 11, 2012 — Lassen County Clerk Julie Bustamante said a hand count of the ballots in the Lassen County District 1 Supervisorial race confirmed the results from the county’s ballot-counting computers.

According to the hand count and the computer, incumbent Bob Pyle defeated challenger Jean Hodge by 27 votes. Pyle collected 836 votes (50.67 percent) and Hodge garnered 808 votes (49.03 percent).

“It proved the machine came out right,” Bustamante said of the hand count.

The clerk said the final results of the election are now on the county’s website. Go to co.lassen.ca.us/govt/dept/county_clerk/registrar/Elections.asp to review the results.

Dear Miss C,
I hope you continue to perceive anyone from Westwood as a drunk while we reap the benefits of having Pyle in office for another 4 years. The best man for the job won, get over it. Oh yeah, one more thing "cheers!"

You are just delusional. Pyle is the laziest on the board. He hands out a few hundred dollars to Westwood and you think he deserved to have 4 more years. He takes credit for stuff that he didn't do, lied about his involvement in the her long scam, yes he is just the right person to keep for you.

Miss C. dont blame Westwood for actually Voting. Maybe Pyle is a Pile but at least we voted. I personally dont think either candidate was perfect for the job. But knocking Westwood is just being a poor sport.
