Tim Corbett has suspended the recount on the St. Joseph County Sheriff’s race.
Following the primary Corbett was 18 votes behind Bill Redman for the Democratic nomination. After the vote was audited the margin changed to 16 votes. Corbett said in statement ‘I cannot in good conscience continue with the recount.’
Corbett thanked his supporters and campaign staff and volunteers, as well as those on the recount commission.
The St. Joseph County Democrats announced they support Redman as the nominee.
Redman will face Republican Paul Jonas and possibly Independent Chuck Hurley in the November general election.
