A vote recount in the Walkertown council race has confirmed that Republican Anita Moody beat incumbent Vernon Brown by just a single vote.
The final tally remains 198 to 197 after Brown requested a recount in the four-way contest for two seats. Democratic incumbent Peggy Leight was the top vote-getter overall, with 212.
Forsyth County Elections Director Tim Tsuiji says the totals matched the official results from the earlier canvass.
State law allows candidates to seek a recount in local races when the margin is within one percent of the total votes cast.
