A recount held Wednesday didn’t change the Nov. 3 Las Cruces municipal election results, so Jack Eakman and Kasandra Gandara remain the newest members of the City Council.
Eakman defeated Richard Hall by 11 votes in the District 4 race. Gandara defeated Eli Guzman by 18 votes in the District 1 race.
The recount didn’t change the results at all, the city announced Wednesday afternoon in a news release.
Eakman and Gandara were sworn in Monday. Hall and Guzman had asked for a recount of about 90 percent of ballots cast.
A prior version of this post incorrectly said Guzman was sworn in Monday.
