Sussex County Sheriff Jeff Christopher is almost out of office.
The Department of elections will hold a recount this morning since he lost to Robert Lee by only 21 votes in this week’s election.
Kenneth McDowell, director of the Sussex county Election Department, told WBOC that results have never been overturned by a recount.
Only absentee ballots will be counted since the regular votes are cast by computer.
There are 479.
On election night Sheriff Christopher told reporters that he was going to take one more look at the race just to make sure since it was such a close contest.
But he added he would be satisfied that the people had spoken.
