Who says votes don’t count? Politician captures city hall seat by a single vote
MONTREAL – Don’t ever let anyone tell you that your vote doesn’t count.
Just ask newly elected Montreal councillor Lorraine Page — who won her seat by a single vote.
A Quebec election spokesman says a judicial recount today confirmed that Page captured her north-end district by one ballot.
Pierre Laporte says the initial tally following the Nov. 3 election reported that Page had won by eight votes over her closest rival.
He says that candidate called for the recount.
Page is the former head of the province’s largest teachers’ union and will now represent the Ahuntsic–Cartierville district at city hall.
