Toledo Blade as linked above has this as breaking news:
Mike Craig, the apparent victor in the council District 3 primary race, is seeking a ruling from the Ohio Secretary of State declaring him the apparent victor in the council District 3 race over incumbent Taylor Balderas.
Mr. Craig unofficially won the May 2 election by five votes, but the change of representation has been held up by a mandatory automatic recount that won't be done until next Tuesday.
UPDATE:
Word has it that Lourdes Santiago was voted in - no specific break down as to the vote count yet.
UPDATE TWO:
If you haven't read Dan's post on Progressive Toledo about tonight's vote? Please do so, Domenic Montaldo's comments were in my opinion totally unacceptable.
UPDATE THREE:
An excellent open letter to Chris Redfern is posted at Politics in Mudville

Carty toady Ludeman, in a quid pro quo, will not change the date.
This wouldn't be up to Carty or Rob, it would be if the Secretary of State will give him a ruling.
Doubtful because the results aren't considered official yet since the re-count was stalled.
I agree Rob isn't going to change the date, he already stated that.
I'm sure you are right Kate, unfortunately for them though there are those of us who don't forget this.
As I said before, I'm sure Lourdes Santiago is a very nice woman and had she been the one who actively tried for this seat as well as gotten voter support as well I'd feel that she should have been the one to be appointed. I also still don't understand why she would leave a position that pays almost double what she was earning to take what could be only a few months position.
Bob Vasquez stated he hoped that what had happened wouldn't make people not try to run for office.
I just heard, Frank, Ellen, Phil and Michael are the ones who voted for Bob, all the others voted for Lourdes.
There it is again, do you smell it?
Kinda like 3-day old fish...
Thanks Kern, today was one of those days I wished I had cable so I could have watched it.
This just seems so pointless because she is going to face some serious competition in November. Not just from Dave Schulz but it appears Bob is going to run too and I'm not sure if anyone else is. I've heard two other possible names mentioned. It's been said she wants to run for judge again in 2007 and I don't see how a potential large loss in a City Council race is going to help her reach that goal. I realize it was told to those who were screened that they were not "allowed" to run but some of them will.
Kate, I'd be interested in helping make that happen. Have you visited Mark Bula's website? He makes podcasting available of Sylvania City Council Meetings and Committee Meetings that he attends.
He's linked under my "Survival Basics" on the sidebar.
