KALISPELL - A vote recount has confirmed a narrow victory for a Flathead County Commission candidate.

Today's five-and-a-half hour tally in Kalispell showed Democrat Joe Brenneman defeated Republican Denise Cofer by a 135-vote margin. Cofer asked for the recount after losing by an initial count of 131 votes.

The Flathead Republican Central Committee paid the county one-thousand-930 dollars for the recount.

Brenneman will be the first Democratic Flathead County commissioner in eight years. He drew significant Republican support including that of a new group called Republicans for the Flathead.
